Lavender’s Calming Power

Lavender isn’t just a gorgeous purple flower belonging to the mint family; it’s been known throughout the ages as a natural stress reliever. The word comes from the Latin word “lavare,” meaning “to wash” as Romans used it in their baths.

Nowadays, it’s also used to make herbal teas, in aromatherapy, or as part of sleep aids, maximizing its potential to calm the mind and the body and help with insomnia, anxiety, and mood issues.

But even without the physical presence or scent of the flower, evoking it through words may also have a powerful effect. Lavender typically represents silence, grace, and calmness; these quotes are a great reminder to quiet down, reflect, and embrace the stillness within us.
