19. Lavender
Lavender has been used as a treatment for depression and anxiety for centuries. Both flower and its extracts have been used either internally or by olfaction. Lavender oil appears to have sedating effects, and research has shown that aromatherapy using this essential oil may improve symptoms of depression, such as anxiety and stress. It can also improve your mood and help you relax. A 2003 study has shown that lavender tincture may also have benefits in treating mild to moderate depression. Lavender tincture is made from the fresh herb and a grain alcohol.
