Lavender is said to be effective in cases of insomnia and anxiety. It can lift mood, and is beneficial in cases of stress-related anxiety and depression.

Lavender Leaf Tea has a long history of use for easing headaches and tension. If you’re feeling headachy and stressed, a warming cup of lavender tea will give you an instant sense of deeply satisfying relaxation and peace to get you straight back to your feet with renewed purpose and focus.

You can also try Lavender tea for stomach aches – it is believed to ease the symptoms of colic. Lavender’s soft, subtle, relaxing aroma makes it a delicious tea. Because it is naturally caffeine-free you can drink it at any time of day and we particularly recommend it after dinner when it will help settle the stomach and prepare you for bed.

To use: Place one teaspoon of tea per person into a warmed pot or mug infuser and add hot water. Allow to steep for 5 minutes, or longer if a strong infusion is required, then strain into mugs. A little honey or other natural sweeteners can be added if desired.
