October 17, 2019 Ooh La La… Lavender! Luscious and soothing benefits

The relaxing qualities of lavender have made it the top ingredient in aromatherapy today. Its scent can transport you to breezy, fragrant fields in our very own province of Quebec. It symbolizes sunshine and well-being and the beauty of the deep blue lavender fields waving in the summer sun. Its fresh and floral woody notes are renown for relaxing the mind and body. But, lavender is not new…

 

Time-honoured tradition

The earliest recorded use of lavender dates back to ancient Egypt where lavender was used for both mummification and perfumes. Indeed, upon the opening of King Tut’s tomb in 1923, there was said to be the faint scent of lavender, after some 3,000 years!

Today, fans of aromatherapy are well acquainted with the benefits of lavender, its calming and relaxing properties, as well as its harmonizing effect on the nervous system. Lavender is known to be beneficial to all, but especially to those who suffer from sciatica, arthritis and rheumatism.

 

Enjoy a quality sleep

Does lavender help you sleep? Research suggests that lavender may be used as a natural sleep aid with no side effects, to treat insomnia, anxiety and restlessness. Its scent gently lulls one to a deeper, restful sleep.

Relief from muscle pain

Lavender’s anti-inflammatory qualities, combined with its relaxing properties, make it an excellent remedy for easing muscle tension.

 

Soothe menstrual pain

A warm lavender compress over the lower abdomen eases the tight, cramping feeling of menstrual pain. 

 

Ease tension headaches

Does the stress of everyday life cause headaches, migraines, a stiff neck? If so, a lavender-infused mask or wrap may be the answer. Clogged or infected sinuses? Simply pop a lavender-mask in the freezer or microwave for a soothing spa experience to help relieve your symptoms.
