Ah, yes, everyone’s go to calmer and de-stresser: Lavender. I burn it and use the oil and have it in a perfume and drink it in tea. But why Is it so great for literally everything?
Lavender is a very useful antidepressant and anti-anxiety herb. I drink it almost every night in a tea to calm myself. For those of us who stress all the time (especially students who tend to work themselves too much!!) it’s a great go-to when you really aren’t feeling it. Plus, it’s great for those who suffer from insomnia or people who just have trouble getting tired at night.
A great combo for stress relief for your diffuser:
- 5 drops Grapefruit essential oil
- 5 drops Lavender essential oil
But not only can it help your mental state, it also helps digestion and IBS! It’s soothing for your stomach and has a sweet taste, which can make any tea smell and taste amazing.
Lavender tea blends well with:
- Green tea (De-stressing and digestion)
- Hibiscus (Cramps, helps regulate digestive/resprastory tract) [[only add a little though, it’s super strong!!]]
- Chamomile (nausea, athsma)
Look for shampoos with lavender in them because it is amazing for getting rid of dandruff! If you have a sensitive scalp, don’t fret – it’s very soothing on the skin.
Hey witches!!!
I’m sure we all know that lavender is amazing in witchcraft, too, but what can you do with it?
It’s been used as a placeholder for calmness and peace in ancient magicks for hundreds of years. It’s attractive scent makes it favorable in love spells, as well as its heavily used property to induce happiness.
It is bound to Mercury and the element air.
Little things to do with lavender:
- Keep a satchet of lavender with you to promote happiness and good health
- Rub the flowers on you to attract love
- Burn stalks of dried lavender to attract money, love, happiness, good health, passion, protection and sucess
- Put lavender under your pillow and think about something you desire. If your dream contains something related, you’ll get said desire
- Grow it in your garden to bring good luck
It has been said to attract Fae because of its beautiful scent!
It can make a great offering to many deities as it is such a wide-variety herb. You can make it into a potion, burn it on charcoals, or just sprinkle it around an effigy to show how much you love them!
Just thought I would pay tribute to my favorite herb of all times. I use it in lterally every spell for different things, sometimes like a signature. I hope you guys can find a lot of help from it, too!
