Common Name: Lavender
Latin Name: Lavandula officinalls

Lavender has a wonderfully relaxing effect on the mind and body and makes a good remedy for anxiety, nervousness, and physical symptoms caused by stress such as tension headaches, migraine, palpitations, and insomnia. It also has a stimulating edge to it, acting as a tonic to the nervous system and restoring vitality to people suffering from nervous exhaustion. The relaxing effect of lavender can be felt in the digestive tract, where is soothes spasms and colic related to tension and relieves distension, flatulence, nausea, and indigestion, and enhances the appetite. As a tea, oil inhalation, or vapor rub, lavender is effective for colds, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, flu, tonsillitis, and laryngitis. A warm compress will relieve chest congestion, and help with bruises and insect bites. In a tea or tincture, it can also be taken for stomach and bowel infections causing vomiting or diarrhea. Hot lavender tea causes sweating and reduces fevers. It helps to detoxify the body by increasing elimination of toxins via the skin, and with its mild diuretic action, through the urine.

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

As a powder, we use Lavender in tincture combinations and capsules. Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies. Except as a tea, as powders are not normally used in tea combinations.
It can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
As is the case with most herbs, Lavender should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. Refrigeration or freezing is great, but certainly not necessary. Following these suggestions will delay the loss of its highly valued nutritional and medicinal properties.

Vaccuum Freshness
by Christina on Jun 2, 2009

Vacuum up a handful of Lavender flowers--your home will smell great, won't
clog a bag, won't make noise in the cup style and helps freshen your storage
area.

BHS NOTE: I tried this after I received your note and the whole room smelled lovely. I actually threw the flowers in my coffee grinder first and sprinkled them on the carpet like the stuff you buy from the store. ~Shay M.

I just wanted to let you know that we are new to herbs, but not new to alternative health. Your website has really brought us up to speed quickly and I appreciate the fact that you not only sell quality products but have some direction on how to use them! We have bought several books and have been excited to learn this new avenue of wellness. Thanks for the great recommendations, we've enjoyed the reading.

Thanks so much!

PS...We appreciate your great prices as well. My husband is an alternative health practicioner and we've been using supplements that are expensive. We are now looking forward to making our own from your herbs and I'm sure he'll be sending clients your way. :D
