Lavender’s classic scent notes of clean, calm, fresh, and floral make it quite easy to infuse many areas of life. This adaptable aroma has made it popular for many household items such as soaps, cleaners, and even decorations. Although often selected for its scent, Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is packed full of therapeutic properties. For example, it is helpful for dry, cracked, or peeling lips as it soothes pain and aids healing due to lavenders’ antibacterial and antiseptic properties (Foster, 1993; McIntyre, 1996). And one of the most natural places to use lavender is in the bedroom. According to a study by the University of Miami School of Medicine published in the Wall Street Journal, its aroma improves sleep by slowing down the heart rate and blood pressure, thus putting you in a relaxed state.
