Benefits of Lavenders

Lavenders are very popular among gardeners. Sometimes their petals are dried and sealed in pouches
for good scent, and sometimes put inside clothes to prevent moths, who can damage the clothes.
Lavenders are also used in cake decorating, because the flowers can become candied. Sometimes they
are used in flavoring baked goods and chocolate desserts, and sometimes they use it to make a very
delicious “lavender sugar”. Lavender flowers are also used to make tea. The French make lavender syrup,
which is used to make lavender scones and lavender marshmallows.Lavenders are sometimes put in medicine,
too, and sometimes to prevent infection – such as lavender oil, that was used in World War 1 to disinfect
walls and floors of the hospital. As the folk wisdom says, lavender oil is also helpful to headaches when
rubbed on your temple, and lavender tea helps you relax before bed time. Lavender also is very helpful
when applied to insect bites.

Some other uses are :
Blood circulation: Lavender essential oil is also good for improving the circulation of blood in the
body. It also lowers blood pressure and is often used for hypertension.

Digestion: Lavender oil is useful for digestion because it increases the mobility of food within the
intestine. The oil also stimulates the production of gastric juices and bile, thus aiding in the
treatment of indigestion, stomach pain, colic, flatulence, vomiting and diarrhea.

Cancer: Although more research needs to be done on human subjects, there is significant research on
the effects of lavender, in combination with other essential oils, as a way to prevent the occurrence
of breast cancer in mice
