Whole dried lavender flowers (Lavandula), fragrant and calming.
Traditionally used in herbalism: A fragrant nervine and carminative, traditionally taken or inhaled to ease nervous tension, soothe tension headaches, and gentle the way into sleep. Long strewn in linens and baths for its relaxing scent.
A little lore: A herb of peace, love, protection, and clarity — carried for calm and to invite restful sleep.
Close to home: Yes — hardy English lavender is grown on Ontario farms and in gardens (it's happiest in zone 5+, so it likes a sheltered spot up here).
In your cup & cauldron: Steep as a tea, add to baths, or fill sachets and dream pillows.
