Lavender, a Natural Healing Essential

[Guest guest]

Lavender has been used since olden times to scent baths. In fact, its name comes

from the Latin word, lavare, which means " to wash " . Today, lavender is

considered an essential element of any herbal medicine chest. It has many

healing effects. While well known for its relaxing qualities, lavender is also

anti-bacterial, analgesic, anti-depressant, and a tonic for the nervous system.

<br id= " uj9t2 " ><br id= " uj9t3 " >Lavender has been shown to help insomnia sufferers

to fall asleep more quickly and have a more restful sleep. In 1995, The Lancet

published a study which reported that inhaling lavender essential oil was as

effective as tranquilizers in helping insomniacs fall asleep. Moreover, they

slept more peacefully when inhaling lavender scent than when using

tranquilizers. Lavender is a tried and tested natural remedy for insomnia.<br

<br id= " uj9t5 " >Lavender has also been found to have an effect similar to

anti-depressants. It depresses the central nervous system, and therefore can be

an effective treatment particularly for stress-related depression.<br

Essential lavender oil can be used in massages to prevent stretch marks and

relieve back pains, edema and labor pains. Mixed with water, it is also a good

inducing sleep. When cold, Pillows of Lavender help reduce inflammation, ease

headaches, and invigorate a tired mind and body.<br id= " uj9t10 " >

Lavender is a favorite in my home. I add the oil to natural skin oils to ward

off mosquitoes.
