3 Calming Effects of Lavender

Lavender has been calming people down for over 2500 years: The Egyptians (mummification). The Romans (scenting baths). Queen Elizabeth I (her favorite perfume). Although you probably love lavender for its pretty purple hue and calming cues, its power goes far beyond that.

1. It Puts You in a Carefree State of Mind

It's that never-ending summer day. It's kicking your shoes off in the grass and a breath of fresh air. Lavender soothes the senses and puts you in a carefree state of mind. It's also been known to relieve anxiety and soothe irritated skin.

2. It Shakes Things Up

You'll find this fragrant flower in signature cocktails in high-end bars across the country. The succulent scent adds a light botanical flavor and makes you feel like you're sitting outside on a lovely spring day. See for yourself with this lavender simple syrup recipe.
