New Products—Lavender Oil and Room Spray
We're
now offering certified organic French
lavender oil in 1 oz. bottles for $8.99. This oil is from Grosso (Lavendula
X Intermedia) lavender plants, which is traditionally used for fragrant
and oil purposes. It is considered one of the most popular oil plants
in the lavender world and grown extensively in France. This oil is certified
organic by Oregon Tilth.
Also available, room spray made from pure lavender water with a hint of bergamot, a wonderful citrus scent. Perfect for spritzing a room, a pillow or sheets. Available in a 5.5 oz. size for $7.99. Comes in a brushed aluminum bottle with a spray top.

Our bolster pillows are packed with lavender flowers and buckwheat hulls and covered with a 100% cotton bandana. Approximately 12" long; choose from red or blue. $19.99 each.
Slow Aging with Lavender
The
scent of lavender can bring you a restful night's sleep — but the
plant can do you a world of good in daylight, too. In a recent study,
volunteers sniffed the essential oils of lavender or rosemary for 5 minutes.
Result: Levels of the stress hormone cortisol in saliva dropped as much
as 24%. That's good, because the hormone increases blood pressure and
suppresses the immune system. What's more, people who smelled low concentrations
of lavender were better at getting rid of free radicals, the pesky molecules
believed to speed aging and disease.
