Abstract: The current way of life in society directly affects people's levels of anxiety and insomnia, leading to the use of anxiolytics or the search for methods that help reduce these diseases. One of these methods is lavender oil aromatherapy, which has been disseminated in scientific literature, gaining new space. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of lavender components, with linalool and linalyl acetate, in the treatment of anxiety and insomnia in adults. For this, an integrative review of the literature was carried out, with a bibliographic and descriptive, qualitative basis, using data from articles found in the PubMed and Medline databases, during the years 2019 to 2024. As a result, it was observed that anxiety and insomnia lead the population to abuse medications, requiring correct guidance from the pharmaceutical professional. The inhalation of lavender oil has shown excellent effectiveness in controlling anxiety disorders, with promising growth. It is concluded that aromatherapy with lavender oil is an effective treatment for patients with anxiety and insomnia, but it is necessary to carefully include these resources, which, despite being natural, can cause significant reactions.
