Basic Knowledge about True Lavender
Today, lavender may be enjoyed simply for its wonderful fragrance but it also is used to induce sleep, ease stress and relieve depression. But other than its relaxing aroma, Lavender also has a lot of other useful uses and effects, and has a lot of many other varieties which may not be as curing as the one we usually use to calm and cure. It can be used as a tea, to make compresses for dressing wounds and to apply to the forehead to relieve congestion on sinuses, headaches, hangovers, tiredness, tension and exhaustion and in many other ways. It is one of the most popular and versatile essential oils used in aromatherapy.
