Awsome LAVENDER herbal experience?

Question

i just drank lavender tea, and it had a more sedative effect than valerian... seriously, anyone ever have the same effect?

Answer 1

Well, I always mix green rooibos tea with lavender together. It's a weird mixture but it smells and tastes good and very relaxing.

Answer 2

I havent tried it yet.Sorry.

Answer 3

I used lavender oil on my breast when I was delivering my daughter instead of painkillers and it went alright. I think it helped. The oil is volatile. Containes linalyl acetate and linalool and camphor. It has a hypotensive action and Central nervous system depression action. you can get sedation from oral topical and inhaled doses. It may also have lipid-lowering activity and prolong sleeping time.

There are many different lavenders out there, L. officinalis is the true form which is the only non-toxic one. Be aware of the others.

Spike lavender is common and toxic since it has a high camphor content - it smells the strongest and it's used in pillows and other aromatherapy things.

You can also apply it topically as antiseptic for psoriasis, scrapes and cuts and burns. It is mainly used for the sedative effect. I am glad you felt such comfort.
