Herb of the Week: Lavender!

Lavender is a beautiful, common, yet therapeutic herb that can be used in various different ways around the home. Lavender is extremely relaxing for the mind and body and it also possesses antidepressant and sedative qualities, making it wonderful if you are having trouble sleeping.

It can be used to treat intestinal colic, mild depression, digestive weakness, flatulent stomach pains, headaches and menopausal symptoms!

What a wonder herb!

You can use it in the form of pure essential oil in the bath or directly on the skin around the pulse and temples. It can also be used as a liquid extract, which you can get from a herbalist or even as a tea. Check with your health care practitioner before using it if you are pregnant.

And enjoy the peace!
