Benefits of Lavender

The scent of lavender helps prepare you for
a restful night's sleep and lifts your
mood when you are feeling low.
It also reduces symptoms of
PMS, anxiety and vertigo.
• In bath products, lavender eases tension,
stress, pain and inflammation.
• The scent of lavender repels mosquitoes and
other insects. Add a few stems to your centerpiece
when dining outdoors.
• Lavender acts as a natural antiseptic and disinfectant.
It can also be used as a natural mouth rinse and
breath freshener.
• Lavender oil helps heal cuts, scrapes, burns and insect bites.
• As a moisturizer, lavender is hydrating and healing. It is especially well suited
for troubled skin.
• Keep a small bottle of lavender essential oil in your purse as a natural cure
for headaches and jet lag.
• Lavender is edible and can easily be used to enhance and create spa-style
refreshments. Add a fresh sprig to a glass of mineral water or sprinkle fresh
flowers over a salad for a healthy garnish.
