Lavender field

Lavender has a long history as a medicinal plant. In fact, the ancient Greeks and Romans used it as a disinfectant and pain reliever. Today, lavender is still used to treat skin irritations such as insect bites and rashes. It can also be used to treat insomnia or anxiety - and if you have trouble falling asleep at night or tend to experience panic attacks during the day, inhaling lavender essential oil might help you relax.
