I am no aromatherapist, but I do prefer treating myself “naturally” ... so my medicine cabinet contains none of the conventional chemicals, but rather is stocked from god’s pharmacy … and so Lavender is one of those oils I am never without as it forms a large basis for my “first aid kit” :) Here an excerpt from How Stuff Works “A well-loved Mediterranean herb, lavender has been associated with cleanliness since Romans first added it to their bathwater. In fact, the name comes from the Latin lavandus, meaning to wash. A Christian legend says that lavender originally had no odor, but since the Virgin Mary dried Jesus’s swaddling clothes on it, it has had a heavenly perfume. Essential oil of lavender is now known to have many application in aromatherapy. Today lavender remains a favorite for scenting clothing and closets, soaps, and even furniture polish. Lavender was traditionally inhaled to ease exhaustion, insomnia, irritability, and depression. In the Victorian era, women revived themselves from faints caused by tight corsets with lavender-filled swooning pillows.” Enjoy :) Canon EOS 450D, f/5.6 @ 49 mm, 1/4, ISO 100 Featured in Country Bumpkin August 2009 – thank you so much!!

Lavender stalk taken at Lavender farm “Pure Lavande” in St-Eustache, Quebec in September 2009 / This was from the second crop as the biggest one is in July but unfortunately missed that one. Aiming to go back next year… / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens / “The plant is grown commercially for extraction of lavender oil from the flowers. This oil is used as an antiseptic and for aromatherapy as well as for making other products such as moisturizers , hand creams. Lavender is also used extensively as herbal filler inside sachets used to freshen linens and discourage moths from closets and drawers.

Aiming to go back next year… / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens “Lavender flowers yield abundant nectar which yields a high-quality honey for beekeepers. Lavender flowers can be candied and are sometimes used as cake decorations. Lavender is also used to flavour baked goods and desserts (it pairs especially well with chocolate), as well as used to make “lavender sugar”. Lavender flowers are occasionally sold in a blend with black, green, or herbal tea, adding a fresh, relaxing scent and flavour. / Chefs in and around Provence, France, have been incorporating this herb into their cuisine for centuries, either alone or as an ingredient of herbes de Provence. Lavender lends a floral, slightly sweet, and elegant flavour to most dishes, and pairs beautifully with various sheep’s and goat’s cheeses. “ / ~ Wikipedia

Lavender field taken at Lavender farm “Pure Lavande” in St-Eustache, Quebec in September 2009 / This was from the second crop as the biggest one is in July but unfortunately missed that one. Aiming to go back next year… Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-200mm lens “Essential oil of lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It was used in hospitals during WWI to disinfect floors and walls. These extracts are also popularly used as fragrances for bath products. / An infusion of lavender is claimed to soothe and heal insect bites. Bunches of lavender are also said to repel insects. If applied to the temples, lavender oil is said to soothe headaches. Lavender is frequently used as an aid to sleep and relaxation: Seeds and flowers of the plant are added to pillows, and an infusion of three flowerheads added to a cup of boiling water is recommended as a soothing and relaxing bedtime drink. Lavender oil is claimed to heal acne when used diluted with water, rosewater, or witch hazel; and it is also used in the treatment of skin burns and inflammatory conditions.” / ~ Wikipedia
