Herbs: Lavender flowers - whole

 

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...

  • we use Lavender whole in tea or tincture combinations. Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies.
  • 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 most 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.

I was scared to give my daughter the Sleepy Time Tea and the Restful Sleep Tea only for fear that it wouldn't work on her. She is quite active. That doesn't mean she has ADD or ADHD, it's just that she is constantly moving her brain, her mouth, jiggling her legs, that kind of thing, same as me, her mom. Anyway, I gave her the first cup at lunch time (it had just come in the mail). I called it RS tea. Within a very short time, she was actually calmer, more able to sit and be more focused on her math. That night she asked for her night light to be turned off. We let her keep drinking the tea, telling her the full name and that it would help her sleep better. She was allowed to drink it all during the day, as she wished. I didn't count how much she drank, but she was such a wonderful calm child, actually able to think and form sentences before trying to speak them.

I bought The ABC Herbal book also. It is exactly what I need. Enough information, but not too much. What a blessing God has given to me! I will continue to use herbs, and slowly and sweetly introduce them to my children in a loving way.
