Lavender

Our lavender comes from France and we consider
it some of the most fragrant lavender in the world.
Lavender has been used for centuries, with
clothes in sachets as a natural moth repellent.
The subtle fragrance in clothes is also noted to
give people a sense of well being. Lavender is
credited with both calming and uplifting powers
and so can be equally prescribed as a soothing
agent in anxiety and a stimulant in depression.
Emotions can be upset in many ways, through a
continuing situation such as environment or an
on-going relationship, or a more sudden cause.
The result can be to send the sufferer in the
direction of hysteria and panic, or towards
depressive headaches, morose lack of self-belief
and a defeatist attitude. Lavender has a balancing
effect, one which tends to bring you back to
normal from whichever direction, and so can be
described as an energizer and a calming agent.
Lavenders aromatic powers can also be used for
headaches and insomnia. When grandmother put
a sachet of lavender under her pilllow she was
following one of the oldest remedies for insomnia
in the world.
Lavender is one of the most all round fragrances
used in aroma therapy today.
