Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a fragrant flower traditionally used to calm the mind, ease stress, and promote restful sleep. Native to the Mediterranean, it’s cherished for its soothing aroma and gentle sedative properties. Rich in essential oils and antioxidants, lavender may help reduce anxiety, relieve headaches, and support digestive comfort.
