Find out why lavender has been relied upon for thousands of years as a wellness aid…
Its healing properties know no bounds, and are so much more than an old wives tale; in fact, those wives really knew what they were chatting about. We love lavender not just because of its gorgeous scent, but because of its array of hidden talents.
Naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-fungal, gentle, soothing lavender has so much more to it than meets the eye (or nose). And these fantastic traits can have a positive effect in so many different ways.
Soothes and heals irritated skin.
Lavender has the ability to soothe inflammation, while fighting off bacteria and fungus alike. It encourages wound healing and prevents infection, while antioxidant properties defend. This makes it the perfect ingredient for those with irritable skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Sleep aid

Lavender stimulates your GABA neurotransmitter pathway, which in turn calms your nervous system, while promoting the production of the sleep hormone, melatonin. What’s more, studies have found that the antioxidant properties of lavender may have powerful neuroprotective effects on your brain in the long term.
