Researchers from the University of Setif in Algeria showed that the aerial parts of the cotton lavender plant (Santolina chamaecyparissus) have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. To evaluate these properties, the team used various in vitro and in vivo approaches.
Overall, the results of this study prove that the cotton lavender plant has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can possibly be attributed to its phenolic and flavonoid content.
