Lavender is ranked #1 on my list of favorite herbs! Through years of researching the uses and benefits it has become a staple herb and essential oil in my home.
When I started making skin care products for my family I knew I wanted lavender in everything that touched our skin. Here is a Lavender 101:
Lavender (genus Lavandula) has its origin in countries bordering the Mediterranean, Middle East & India.

Lavender is an extremely versatile plant offering a variety of benefits.
Lavender herb has been used for tinctures, teas, cooking, natural remedies and skin care products and more.
Our Baby Line, Miracle Line and Anti-Aging Face Cream all have certified organic lavender herb that is infused into the carrier oil for that line of products. We use lavender pure essential oil in our Vapor Rub, Muscle Rub, Baby Calm, Allergy Relief and Stress Stick. Its antibiotic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral , antifungal, and disinfectant properties make this beautiful herb a force to be reckoned with.

Anxiety, depression, insomnia, restlessness, mood swings, stress and tension can be helped by diffusing lavender essential oil, drinking lavender tea, using skin care products that have lavender in them or simply inhaling some lavender straight from your essential oil bottle.
