Lavender!

Lavender is recognized as a calming scent, but there are a lot more benefits to it than that.

• Improves sleep quality
• Reduces headache intensity

It is used as aromatherapy, teas, and topical oils for overall relaxation.

• Reduces anxiety, stress, pain and inflimation
• Can sooth an upset stomach and bloating
• Helps hair and scalp

Now, I love the smell of lavender and because my family and I have anxiety I usually stick something lavender in their gifts. A couple of the products I like to get them are:

• Lavender Shower Steamers
  • This makes your showers small like lavender and honestly it’s almost like being in a spa
• Deep Sleep
  • This is a bar from lush and it is lavender and chamomile and its like a massage that smells delicious
• Sleepy
  • Although, this is a body spray I love to use it as like an air freshener and spray it around my house after a good clean

These are some of my favorites but the possibilities are endless. We use to have a pendant that had lavender we would take on the go but we all stopped using it. Some of my cousins wear a lavender scented lotion, candles or drink lavender tea. Lavender doesn’t help with just humans but our furry little friends as well. I don’t ingest and or feed it to belle but having the smell is very comforting.
