Chronic fatigue is often caused by stress, which wreaks havoc with the adrenal glands and entire endocrine system. Lavender calms stress and anxiety, reducing the impact of stress on the body, thereby relieving fatigue. Lastly, getting solid good-quality sleep using lavender oil (mentioned above) obviously goes a long way in combating fatigue.
