Lavender is a multifunctional plant. Its main functions include calming the nerves, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, promoting wound healing, relieving headaches and improving sleep. It is widely used in aromatherapy, skin care and daily health care.

1. Calming the nerves and helping sleep

The aroma of lavender contains ingredients such as linalool and linalyl acetate, which can stimulate the limbic system of the brain through smell, reduce sympathetic nerve activity, thereby relieving anxiety and stress, and helping to relax the body and mind. Studies have shown that lavender essential oil aromatherapy can shorten the time to fall asleep and improve sleep quality, especially for people with mild insomnia.

2. Antibacterial and skin repair

Lavender essential oil has natural antibacterial properties and can inhibit common pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Its anti-inflammatory properties can also relieve skin problems such as eczema and acne. Topical application after dilution can promote the healing of minor burns and cuts and reduce scar formation (avoid open wounds).

3. Relieve headaches and muscle aches

The soothing properties of lavender can dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation. Mix 1-2 drops of essential oil with carrier oil and massage on the temples or neck and shoulders to relieve tension headaches and muscle soreness after exercise.
