Soothing effects of lavender

Autor: BEWIT

Native to the high mountain regions of Europe around the Mediterranean Sea, this strongly scented plant with mysterious blue-purple flowers on a slender stem contains precious essential oils with multiple effects that were appreciated by ancient cultures many years before us. The lovely lavender was already described as soothing, cooling, relaxing and harmonizing.

It can be used to prepare a soothing tea, to make a natural repellent or to use its properties in a concentrated form of essential oils. Lavender contains essential oils throughout the plant, but quality essential oil is only extracted from the flowers, and it takes several kilograms of flowers to make a few drops of essential oil. The aroma, strength and effect of such an essential oil are then an irreplaceable essence.

Effects of lavender

The aroma of lavender essential oil contains small molecules that are able to penetrate through the skin or inhalation, and then through the bloodstream to the brain, where they have a positive effect on your decision-making and mood. Lavender is widely known for its calming effects, but it will also be helpful in activities where focus and concentration are needed. Lavender aidsself-expression and relieves tension from restlessness. Thus, it is a suitable helper for those with creative potential who are afraid to express themselves and suffer from shyness. Lavender brings peace and serenity. Among other things, it is antibacterial, soothing and helps regeneration.
