Healing Properties of Lavender

Lavender is a herb with purple flowers that serves a myriad of natural healing and medicinal properties. The oil is usually extracted from the plant and used in aromatherapy, consumed as a supplement or applied on to the skin. Lavender can help improve sleep, reduce pain and relieve stress and anxiety. Not only does it have a distinctively sweet fragrance, it also has a floral, earthy taste which can be used in food and beverage.
