True lavender contains a high percentage of linalool (the active ingredient) and is used by all age groups, including children. Linalool is a well-known calming and anxiolytic agent: it inhibits glutamate binding in the cerebral cortex, inhibits the release of acetylcholine, and reduces the opening time of ion channels at the neuromuscular junction.
