Hi, thanks for reaching out. Lavender oil may help some people feel calmer and reduce anxiety symptoms, but it is not a treatment for panic attacks or heart palpitations themselves. If your palpitations have not been medically evaluated, it’s important to discuss them with your doctor first.
You can try aromatherapy by placing 1–2 drops of lavender essential oil on a tissue, pillow, or diffuser and inhaling the scent for a few minutes during stressful periods or before sleep. Avoid applying undiluted oil directly to the skin. Along with this, practice slow breathing (for example, inhaling for 4 seconds and exhaling for 6 seconds) when panic symptoms arise. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

You may try lavender oil (aromatherapy) as a relaxation aid, but it is not a treatment for panic attacks and is unlikely to stop an ongoing attack.
How to use:
* Add 2–3 drops to a diffuser and inhale for 15–30 minutes.
* Or place 1–2 drops on a tissue and inhale gently when feeling anxious.
* Avoid applying undiluted oil directly to the skin.
If you have recurrent panic attacks with palpitations, consult a psychiatrist/mental health professional, as you may benefit from proper evaluation, therapy, and/or medication. Also consider a medical check-up to rule out physical causes of palpitations.
