Lavender is a perennial that grows up to
two feet tall with many branches of gray-green linear leaves.
The very aromatic purple flowers, which grow on terminal spikes,
are gathered just before opening and used to relieve headaches,
depression, exhaustion, and to promote relaxation and sleep.
They are also used in herbal body care and aromatherapy for
sachets and sleep pillows; relaxing baths; antiseptic face washes,
steams, and toners; and creams and oils to relieve aches and
pains.
