Lavender is one of the most common herbs used for calming,soothing and relaxing a body than all the other herbs known.
You can buy lots of things that have lavender in them, like candles, bath salts soap, bubble bath and many other things.
It can be grown in the garden and will produce loverly scented purple flowers year after year.

In todays society herbal and natural remedies are fastly catching on and essential oiols are all the rage. Lavender again is one ofthe most common essential oils used, it can be droppind into your bath water or burned in an oil burner, you can also add it to a base oil to use in the soothing stokes of a massage.

You can buy Lavender oil from most health shops and a little bottle will set you back at the cheap price of £2.00 to £2.50 shop around if it's priced higher as your getting ripped off.
The healing properties of Lavender are used for a tonic, hence the wide use in bath and shower products, this is why you feel refreshed after using anything with lavender in.
It is also good for a failing appetite, you can burn it in an oil burner to help increase your appetite.
It is alsa an antispasmodic and therefore helps to relax tired and aching muscles.
It is also an antiseptic and burning lavender in an oil burner during the hot summer months will repell wasps, flies and other insects.
For headaches and soothing back pains a nice hot bath should do the trick. The same goes for us women who suffer the dreaded monthly pains.

Although lavender is a funny scent it does help to ease pain and relax, you can also buy jossticks from the markets or hippie shops to burn in the rooms to freshen and repell insects.
I like the smell of lavender and we grow it in our garden, fresh and dried it can be sewn into little bits of material squares to freshen the clothes drawers.
Or sprinkled into the bathwater or used as pot-purri.
There are numerous ways to use lavender and if like me you
r into alternative medicines then you should give it a try.
