  schema:description "Lavender is taken as capsules or inhaled as aromatherapy for anxiety and sleep. Trials outside cancer suggest it can ease anxiety, but in people with cancer it did not lower anxiety during radiotherapy and added nothing to massage in a hospice. It may have weak hormonal effects, so long-term use is best avoided with hormone-sensitive cancers."@en ;
