The efficacy and function of lavender

Edible value

Lavender tea

Lavender tea is made by brewing dried buds. Put a large spoonful into a pot, then pour in boiling water. Just simmer for 5 minutes and you can enjoy it. It is sweet and delicious even without adding honey or sugar. This tea has no side effects and has many benefits such as calming, relaxing digestive tract spasms, refreshing, eliminating intestinal gas, aiding digestion, preventing nausea and dizziness, relieving anxiety and nervous migraines, and preventing colds. Drinking it can also help recover from hoarseness and loss of voice, so it has the reputation of being the "best partner for office workers."

Dietary precautions

Most people can eat it, 2-3 grams each time. Patients with low blood pressure should use it in moderation, as they may feel slow to react and want to sleep. Lavender powder is also a menstrual stimulant and should be avoided by women in early pregnancy.

Beauty value

Because lavender has the effect of inhibiting bacteria, balancing oil secretion, and soothing the skin, it can also be used in facial cleansing products. Lavender extract is added to soap and facial cleanser products. After cold sterilization and preservation treatment and the application of county-level technology, high-end cleansing products such as lavender soap and facial cleanser are made.

Facial mask

Take 10g of lavender powder and mix it into a paste with water, egg white, or milk. Apply evenly on face and wash off after 20 minutes.

Steaming face

Before applying a facial mask, you should steam your face to open the pores and allow the mask to be better absorbed. At this time, you can sprinkle about 10g of lavender powder in the facial steamer. The floral fragrance is refreshing, calms the mind, soothes the nerves and moisturizes the skin.

Bath

Sprinkle about 5g of lavender powder into the bathtub. It can tighten the skin all over the body, supply nutrition, scent the body and relieve stress.

Garden Application

There are many varieties of lavender plants, which have high ecological ornamental value. The plant is short, gray-purple in color all year round, has strong vitality, is resistant to pruning, has beautiful leaf shape and flower color, and is noble and elegant. It can be used to build a lavender-specific aromatic botanical garden, integrating greening, beautification, coloring and scenting. It can be used for viewing, purify the air, treat diseases and play a role in medical care.
