LAVENDER
The flower of relaxation
Lavender is a plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, long renowned for its relaxing fragrance.
Thanks to its active compounds, mainly terpenes, its aroma is disliked by mosquitoes and other flying insects.
It is also famous for its flavoring and balsamic properties, which offer a relaxing, aromatic, and stimulating effect, thus helping to promote a good night's sleep. Lavender essential oil is mildly antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, showing high tolerance on the skin and mucous membranes.
Lavender flowers not only promote sleep and relaxation, but are also recommended for improving mood and protecting summer evenings from mosquitoes and insects.
"In Provence, even the clouds smell of lavender."
