A member of the mint family, many varieties of lavender (Lavandula) have been cultivated through the ages. With a range of antioxidant, antimicrobial, sedative, calming and antidepressive properties, lavender oil is a powerhouse of plant medicine. Relaxing lavender essential oil is often used as a supplement to promote feelings of calm and alleviate sleep problems and anxiety. Lavender helps restore the nervous system, helping with restlessness, irritability, panic attacks, nervous tension and digestive upset.
