"Lavender is an ally against insomnia, anxiety, and stress; it is thought to slow nervous system activity, allowing for a more restful sleep. Lavender calms a nervous stomach and may be helpful for relaxing and calming the entire gastrointestinal system. It contains antibacterial and antiviral abilities as well. Inhaling the steam produced from an infusion in water can help with upper respiratory issues. On the skin, lavender can be soothing and healing for any sort of rash or burn, and many find relief from fungal infections and even eczema."
