Lavender is a flowering plant in the mint family. Grown as a condiment to use in salads and dressings, the flowers yield abundant nectar from which bees make a high
quality honey. Lavender has a floral and slightly sweet flavor and is often added to butters, cheeses, soups, condiments, sauces, spirits and beverages. The lavender buds
produce the essential oils used for fine fragrances, creams, body lotions, hair care and air care products. The essential lavender oils are said to have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can heal burns, pain and bites, and help treat anxiety, insomnia, depression and restlessness as well as aid with digestive issues.
