Lavender is a valuable medicinal plant belonging to the family. Currently 39 species are known, but only is a pharmacopoeial raw material. Lavender has a long history of medicinal use and mainly exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sedative, antidepressant, spasmolytic, anticholinesterases, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Used internally, it relieves symptoms of mental stress and insomnia and supports digestion. Topical use of lavender in aromatherapy, neuralgia and antiseptics is also known. The constant interest in lavender, and in particular in , in the field of medicine and pharmacy is evidenced by the growing number of publications. In view of so many studies, it seems important to review traditional and modern extraction techniques that determine the chemical composition responsible for the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of various extracts from the species of the genus.
薰衣草是一种有价值的药用植物，属于唇形科。目前已知有 39 个种，但只有 一种是药典原料。薰衣草具有悠久的药用历史，主要表现出抗氧化、抗炎、镇静、抗抑郁、解痉、抗胆碱酯酶、抗真菌和抗菌特性。内服时，可缓解精神压力和失眠症状，促进消化。薰衣草在芳香疗法、神经痛和防腐剂中的局部应用也为人所知。人们对薰衣草的持续关注，特别是对薰衣草属植物的关注，在医学和药学领域得到了越来越多的出版物的证明。鉴于如此多的研究，回顾决定各种薰衣草属植物提取物抗氧化和抗炎作用的化学成分的传统和现代提取技术似乎很重要。
