Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is an herb as fragrant as it is colorful. Lavender is commonly used for treatment of anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, depression, headaches and pain. The lavender buds contain an oil that seems to have sedating effects and might relax certain muscles. Lavender has been highly prized since the Roman era for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Lavender comes in over 450 varieties varying in size and colors such as blue, purple, pink and white.
