Move into winter
Morena,
As we move into winter, it is another busy period on the lavender farm. While the bulk of our pruning is complete, we still need to complete some further light pruning.
We are way behind on hand weeding with warm temperatures resulting in a lot of new grass growth - and more work!
We continue to search for research into the potential benefits of lavender. One of the more recent and promising studies is published by the National Insitute of Health. In this review the authors studied the Effects of Lavender Essential Oil and its Clinical Implications for Dentistry:
The review confirmed potential benefits from lavender oil including:
* antimicrobial impacts
* relief from anxiety
* anti-inflammatory properties
* pain relief.
We look forward to sharing further research with you.
