LAVENDER’S MEDICINAL ATTRIBUTES
Lavender is comprised mainly of linalyl acetate and linalool but also contains borneol, geraniol, limonene, linalyl butrate, pinene, tannin, and cineol, giving this plant a rather complex medicinal fingerprint. Lavender also has the unique ability to potentiate many other medicinal plants, making them more effective and efficient in healing.Anxiety and DepressionLavender has been used for centuries as a remedy for anxiety and depression. This is because it has beautiful active molecules called terpenes. Terpenes are so small that as they move through our bloodstream, they easily cross the blood brain barrier to have a direct impact on our brain chemistry and, therefore, our state of mind. In a study published in the journal, Phytomedicine, Lavender was proven to be as effective at treating anxiety as pharmaceuticals. The study showed that Lavender is helpful in addressing restlessness, nervousness, anxiety, and insomnia.InsomniaLavender has been proven to help you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper, keeping you in REM cycles for longer. This helps you to feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and more energetic the next morning.

Washing wounds with Lavender water or applying Lavender oil increases cellular growth, causing the wound to heal faster and decreasing the appearance of scars. The anti-microbial action of Lavender protects scrapes and wounds from infection.BurnsLavender Oil has a well-documented history of effectively treating burns. Its pain-relieving properties, combined with its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic properties, make it the preferred home remedy to reach for first.Digestive AidLavender has long been used as a digestive aid in folk medicine.

Lavender tea increases gastric juice production, which improves digestion and nutrient absorption, and Lavender has been used to treat colic, vomiting, gas, and bloating.

How it distinguishes between harmful and beneficial bacteria is a magical mystery.
