About this plant
Lavender has been cultivated for centuries for its simple beauty and wide range of health benefits. Modern research shows that the smell of lavender reduces stress and promotes calm, but if you’ve ever taken a deep breath of lavender in full bloom, you didn’t need a scientist to tell you that! Lavender leaves and flowers can be dried and used to make potpourris or sachets. You can also simmer lavender leaves and flowers to make lavender floral water, which can be put in a spray bottle and used as a room mist. Finally, the leaves and flowers are rich in plant polyphenols and can be used to make a soothing lavender tea before bed to help you sleep better.
