Lavender Oil Inhibits Immediate-type Allergic Reaction in Mice and Rats

Abstract:
We studied the effects of lavender oil on mast cell-mediated
immediate-type allergic reactions in mice and rats.

Lavender oil (1:500, 1:100, 1:10, 1:1, 1:0) inhibited
concentration-dependently mast cell-dependent ear swelling
response induced by compound 48/80 in mice by both topical and
intradermal application. Lavender oil (1:500, 1:100, 1:10, 1:1,
1:0) inhibited concentration-dependently passive cutaneous
anaphylaxis induced by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE in rats by
both topical and intradermal application.

Lavender oil (1:500, 1:100, 1:10, 1:1, 1:0) also inhibited
concentration-dependently the histamine release from the
peritoneal mast cells by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE.
Moreover, lavender oil (1:1000, 1:100, 1:10, 1:0) had a
significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-induced tumour
necrosis factor-alpha secretion from peritoneal mast cells.

These results indicate that lavender oil inhibits immediate-type
allergic reactions by inhibition of mast cell degranulation
in-vivo and in-vitro.
