Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia | Calm & Relaxation · Restful Sleep · Evening Ritual · Naturally Caffeine-Free

Tastes like: floral and perfumed with a soft, slightly sweet finish. A little goes a long way — it shines blended with chamomile or lemon balm.

In ancient Egypt, lavender was found sealed in Tutankhamun's tomb. The Romans scented their bathwater with it, and its name likely comes from the Latin "lavare," to wash. For 2,500 years, this has been the flower people reached for to unwind at the end of the day.

Modern researchers have taken a close look at lavender's signature aromatic compound, linalool, which has been studied for its relationship to the body's natural calming pathways.* Clinical research has also explored lavender's relationship to a calm mood and restful sleep.*
