Physical
Uses: Originally a strewing herb and carried to mask offensive
odors, Lavender was soon discovered to be more than just a pretty
smell.
Lavender tea is a traditional
treatment for migraine headaches as well as dizziness, fainting
spells, depression and anxiety. A drop of Lavender oil applied to
each temple can relieve a headache.
A mild sedative, the
tea can also be taken to calm an upset stomach, treat flatulence
and prevent vomiting.
An antiseptic, a strong
tea or Lavender oil can be used to treat wounds, sores, insect bites,
stings and minor burns.
