Lavender is traditionally used in aromatherapy for the symptomatic relief of headaches, colds, and coughs, as a calmative, and as a carminative/antispasmodic for the relief of digestive discomfort. This floral and herbaceous aroma has a calming and comforting effect that supports full-body and -mind relaxation, making it a popular tool in mindfulness practices and bedtime routines.
