Lavender for insomnia
Have you noticed that lavender is a common ingredient added to lotions, creams and other beauty products? This practice is far from new. Ancient Egyptians used it as a perfume, while the Romans loved to scent the air with its fragrance. But lavender doesn’t just smell good—it’s a powerful healing oil as well.
Having trouble falling asleep at night? A study published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine found that lavender oil can bring immediate improvement to those struggling with insomnia (try diffusing it in your bedroom; rubbing a few drops on your neck, chest and temples; or rubbing some directly onto your pillow.)
Lavender is also great for treating headaches, healing cuts and burns, improving mood and relieving stress.
