It’s Lavender Season!

May – July is Lavender season!

There is nothing quite like the fragrant smell of lavender. Listed below are some of the potential benefits of lavender:

• Mental health: Lavender can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. It can also improve short-term memory and mental alertness.
• Sleep: Lavender can help with insomnia and restlessness. It contains linalool, a natural sedative that can help relax the body and mind.
• Skin: Lavender oil can help with acne and other skin conditions. It has antimicrobial properties that can kill acne-causing bacteria, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation.
• Digestion: Lavender tea can help with digestive issues like nausea, vomiting, intestinal gas, and upset stomach. It can also increase the mobility of good bacteria in the digestive tract, and increase the amount of gastric juices and bile produced.
• Hair: Lavender oil can help with hair loss, thinning, and condition. It can increase the number of hair follicles in the head, which can lead to thicker hair.
• Pain relief: Lavender can help with headaches, toothaches, sprains, and sores.
• Minor burns and bug bites: Lavender oil is believed to have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help heal these.
