More About Our Lavender Range

Lavender's calming properties are well-known. While inhalation of lavender oil is a more common method for relaxation, consuming lavender tea might also promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.

Traditionally, lavender tea has also been used to soothe digestive discomfort like nausea, bloating, and gas. At Baldwins, we offer the highest quality lavender flowers which can be enjoyed in tea, as potpourri or in sachets, or added to skincare products

FAQs

You can use lavender to improve your health in several ways. As an essential oil, lavender is used in aromatherapy and massage and can be applied topically to the skin. If you wish to ingest lavender, the most common way is by steeping the lavender flowers in hot water to make a tea which can help with relaxation and alleviate upset stomachs and wind.

Lavender comes in a wide variety of forms such as dried lavender, essential oil, lavender water, soaps, skincare products and tea.

If you're considering using lavender internally, always consult with a qualified herbalist or healthcare professional first. They can advise on safe dosage and potential interactions with medications you might be taking.

While uncommon, some individuals may experience skin irritation from the topical application of lavender essential oil. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before applying it to a larger area. Essential oils are highly concentrated and can cause irritation if applied directly to the skin. Always dilute lavender essential oil with a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil before topical use.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using lavender internally or topically without consulting a healthcare professional. Individuals with certain medical conditions, like epilepsy or low blood pressure, should also consult a healthcare professional before using lavender.
