Why is lavender so calming?

It is believed that inhaled lavender fragrance acts via the parasympathetic nervous system which regulates levels of anxiety, heart rate and breathing. Lavender can help in regulating these bodily processes by restoring a neutral state. This makes the whole body more relaxed and can help calm the body and mind to improve sleep quality and general well-being.
