Hello again!

Today I felt the urge to write about Lavender, the plant. I think it’s extremely underrated. I was amazed to discover how many ways it could be used. Lavender benefits the senses as well as the body. It’s edible, and can be found in high quality beauty products. Here are some fun facts I thought you might enjoy:

Placing a satchel of Lavender leaves under your pillow can help promote a goodnights sleep.

Lavender increases brainwaves associated with relaxation.

Lavender oil is said to have minor pain killing qualities.

Pure Lavender oil is a great ointment for healing bug bites and bee stings.

Lavender fragrance can cure headaches.

Lavender is a popular ingredient in massage oils.

Lavender is a part of the MINT family in the herbs dictionary.

Lavender can be found growing all over the world.

The history of Lavender dates back at least 2500 years.

Ancient Greeks used Lavender for almost everything, including medicine.

 Lavender fragrance attracts Angels, and wards off negative energy. (For those who believe ;) )

I could  go on and on, but you get the idea. I suggest using Lavender as much as possible. Buy an eye mask, pillow, and candle with the scent. As a potted plant it can spruce up your home.  Don’t be afraid to get romantic; lavender scented stationary and colored roses would work nicely. The tea is calming too, so buy a pack and chill out. :P

Let me know what you think below in the comments box. I might do a Lavender gift basket give away if enough people comment… We’ll see.
