Natural remedies from a range of sources, including plants, animals, microorganisms, and marine life, have made a significant contribution to the treatment of many ailments. Lavender is a Mediterranean shrub from the Lamiaceae family. Lavender flowers (Lavandula flores) include active ingredients (3%), anthocyanins, sugars, phytosterols, minerals, and tannins and are majorly used for herbal applications. Lavender essential oil's descriptive and analytical composition varies depending on genotype, growing region, climatic circumstances, propagation, and morphological characteristics. There are around 300 chemical components in essential oil. Linalool, terpinen-4-ol, linalyl acetate, ocimene, acetate lavandulol, and cineole are the most prominent constituents. Lavender oil has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The lavender extract helps to prevent dementia and may slow cancer cell growth, while lavender oil is used to treat skin problems. This review will cover the recent medical, economic and regional advancements in levander propagation and how the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research Indian Institute of Integrative (CSIR IIIM) aroma mission is actively acting as a bridge between farmers and their economic improvement by attracting them to the field of medicinal plant cultivation.

Article Synopsis
- The study produced dressings using Ag/ZnO nanoparticles and lavender oil incorporated into a PVA/Pet matrix via electron beam irradiation.
- The nanoparticles were identified as spherical and about 27.4 nm in size, with the overall swelling capacity of the dressings improving significantly under certain conditions, but decreasing with higher irradiation doses.
- The dressings exhibited biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and effective wound healing in rat models, indicating potential for use in clinical wound management.
