薰衣草油

薰衣草油(英语:Lavender oil,CAS号:8000-28-0)是通过蒸馏某些薰衣草品种的花穗获得的精油。不同的品种提取出的薰衣草油有着不同的香气:提取自狭叶薰衣草(又名真薰衣草、英国薰衣草)的薰衣草油(lavender flower oil)有着清甜的花香,提取自宽叶薰衣草(又名穗状薰衣草、穗花薰衣草)的穗状薰衣草油(lavender spike oil)在清香中带有清凉的草药香,宽窄叶杂交薰衣草(又名醒目薰衣草[1])的精油香气则介于两者之间。[2][3]

与所有精油一样,薰衣草油不是纯净的单一化合物,而是复杂的植物性化合物的混合物,精油成分也因薰衣草的品种而异。[4]狭叶薰衣草精油的主要成分包括乙酸芳樟醇芳樟醇,而穗状薰衣草油的主要成分包括芳樟醇、桉叶油醇樟脑[4]

生产

薰衣草油是通过水蒸气蒸馏法生产的。[5][6]这种方法减少了极性化合物的损失,与其他方法相比能产生更多的精油。[7]薰衣草花的收获期通常在六月下旬至八月之间。[8]剪下的薰衣草花序被压入薰衣草蒸馏器中,水蒸汽从蒸馏器底部进入加热薰衣草。[5]油腺在加热过程中破裂,释放出的薰衣草油汽化与水蒸汽一起上升,在上方的冷管上凝结成液体,被收集到储罐中。[5]由于水和薰衣草油有着不同的极性和密度,两者不互溶,会在储罐中分层,将水从管道排出,即得到薰衣草油。[5][9]

薰衣草油在世界各地都有生产,其中保加利亚、法国和中国的产量领先。[10][11]

用途

薰衣草油被用于香水芳香疗法皮肤涂抹[12]但这些用法没有临床益处。[13]薰衣草油用于按摩疗法,通过直接接触皮肤使人放松,但可能会发生过敏反应[13]目前没有充分的证据支持使用薰衣草油治疗失智症[14]

2021年的一项荟萃分析包括五项针对焦虑症患者的研究,这五项研究均由所用薰衣草油胶囊的制造商资助,其中四项研究是由荟萃分析的一位作者进行,[15] 不清楚它们是否是盲法试验[16]这项分析显示,每天口服80毫克薰衣草油与汉密尔顿焦虑评定量表上的焦虑评分降低相关。[15]根据国家补充与替代医学中心英语National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health的说法,由于这些研究的局限性,口服薰衣草油治疗焦虑症的有效性仍不确定。[13]

在蒸馏松节油普及之前,穗状薰衣草油曾被用作油画溶剂[17]

可能的不良影响

尽管人们普遍认为薰衣草油对其预期用途是安全的[18]但它是一种潜在的内分泌干扰物,持续接触可能会影响女孩和男孩的乳房发育。[19]

包括薰衣草油在内的许多精油,如果服用都有毒性。[20][21]一般来说,服用5毫升的稀释精油可能会导致成人中毒,2-3毫升可能会导致儿童中毒。[22] 2014-2018年,新南威尔士州报告了271起薰衣草油中毒病例,占所有精油中毒病例的6.1%,中毒者大多数是儿童。[21]

薰衣草油的主要有毒成分是乙酸芳樟酯芳樟醇[20][23]

摄入薰衣草油中毒的症状包括视力模糊、呼吸困难、喉咙灼痛、眼睛灼伤、神志不清、意识水平下降、腹泻、胃痛、呕吐和皮疹。[20]局部涂抹薰衣草油可能会引起接触性皮炎[22]

摄入的薰衣草油可能会与处方药发生相互作用,包括抗凝剂他汀类药物抗癫痫药物[24]

化学成分

薰衣草油的植物性化合物成分因品种而异,主要由单萜倍半萜醇组成。[24]主要是芳樟醇(20-35%)和乙酸芳樟酯(30-55%),并有中等水平的乙酸薰衣草酯、4-松油醇、薰衣草醇桉叶油醇樟脑柠烯单宁[24]薰衣草油通常含有100多种化合物,尽管其中许多化合物的浓度可以忽略不计。[24][25]
