Lavender is essentially able to produce a balancing and harmonizing
effect, by having a pronounced regulating effect on the Nervous
System. Stress has long been known to deplete the Immune System, and
can be the cause, or Precipitating Agent, for all types of Illness

restorative effect in cases of a weakened Nervous System and have a
calming effect on those prone to be Stressed or agitated. For years
