NuVena Herbs – Lavender flower 1kg

Lavender is widely celebrated for its calming and soothing effects, but its benefits go far beyond relaxation. This fragrant plant contains powerful active compounds—linalool and terpineol—which act directly on the nervous system to ease anxiety, reduce nervous tension, and promote emotional balance.

Its distinctive aroma comes from essential oils that are not only pleasing to the senses but also responsible for many of lavender’s therapeutic properties. Rich in carotenoids, polyphenols, and flavonoids, lavender offers significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, supporting overall health and well-being.

Lavender strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation, and provides analgesic and antimicrobial effects. It also supports digestive health, soothes muscle tension, and promotes relaxation throughout the body.

Research has shown that lavender oil can accelerate wound healing, enhance collagen production, and stimulate the activity of proteins involved in tissue regeneration. It also exhibits disinfectant properties, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, and may help reduce excessive hair loss.

Beyond its internal uses, lavender is a natural insect repellent. Dried flowers placed in tack rooms or among stored rugs help keep moths at bay.
