Lovely Lavender
Who else loves lavender? 💗🌸💗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lavender has a wonderful proclivity for soothing the nerves—it's one of our most traditional remedies for digestive issues, headaches, stress, and grief. It's also a gentle sedative, which makes it beneficial for anxiety and insomnia.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it's gorgeous in the garden! Bees and humans both hum around this uplifting aromatic medicinal. Want my tips for growing and using lavender? See my article on Growing Healing Herbs in Pots:
