There are a litany of benefits to using lavender. One of the most often referred to benefits is that lavender can help you fight insomnia. In fact, lavender was once placed inside pillows in the hopes it could help people suffering from sleeplessness. One reason for this is the claim that lavender can help with headaches and in easing anxiety. In Germany, there\u2019s even a tea made from lavender that is approved as a supplement to help with sleep disruptions, restlessness, and stomach irritation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lavender has also been said to help with certain skin and hair conditions, one of which is alopecia aerate which causes a person\u2019s hair to fall out in patches. A study published in the Archives of
Dermatology found that those who rubbed essential oils – including lavender, thyme, rosemary, and cedar wood – on the areas where hair was falling out experienced better regrowth over a seven month period. Lavender has also been used to aid in the treatment of skin issues like eczema, acne, sunburns, and diaper rash.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

An use of lavender is to treat fungal infections. The Journal of Medical Microbiology published a study where they found lavender oil could effectively fight antifungal-resistant infections, even discovering that lavender oil was lethal to certain fungal strains. Along with that, lavender oil has been studied in wound healing, with the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine finding that rats treated with lavender oil on their wounds experienced faster healing than those left to heal naturally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
