Lavender is the essential oil that has now been studied the most by mainstream medicine. There are good data to support lavender’s efficacy in managing anxiety, pain perception, wound healing, and insomnia.

I remember a patient’s family member screaming at me in the Emergency Department because I suggested she incorporate lavender into her elderly father’s bedtime routine. She yelled “I WANT YOU TO GIVE HIM A XANAX PRESCRIPTION, NOT A DAMN FLOWER!!”

While I know she was under stress trying to care for her aging father, I also knew, even ten years ago, that the power of this plant was very real. And now there are loads of studies to prove it. 

Don’t underestimate the power of this purple plant, my friends. We use it a lot for good reason, from soothing skin inflammation to softening the edges of your mood.
