Lavender is one of those substances that has loads of uses, is easy to obtain and can make a material difference to our health 

We already know that lavender makes a great perfume, but that’s only one of it’s many uses 

The herb is readily available as an essential oil that can be added to a bath, left in a bowl to perfume a room or burnt in a specially designed lamp and even better administered through massage 

Lavender is a great relaxant, helping to ease stress and nervous tension. 

It’s one of nature’s most cost effective remedies and can be used to treat a number of ailments  

•        Migraines and headaches
•        Nervous exhaustion
•        Insomnia
•        Muscular pain
•        Digestion (who knew!!)
•        Urinary tract infection

These are just a few. The herb’s ability to boost the immune system is also an important factor Regular use of lavender oil should be done in different ways to heighten its effectiveness 

Put lavender on a cotton ball in a pillow to treat insomnia  

It’s even possible to get lavender infused pillows. Many health shops have them Lavender is definitely a female herb, capable of multitasking 

Use lavender as a perfume and apply to your temples for an additional soothing quality when struck by headaches 

Place some lavender leaves in boiling water to make a healthy herbal tea. It will help you sleep, calm your nerves and also assists with relaxing an irritated digestive system 

For those that aren’t lucky enough to have lavender in the garden, suppliers package it for medicinal, culinary and cosmetic purposes 

Lavender also works very well in combination with other herbs 

Mix it with citronella to make a great insect repellent 

It makes a wonderful massage oil in combination with a base oil such as jojoba or grapeseed 

The ability for one herb to do this much is amazing and is only a small miracle to be found in the world of nature. 

It’s time to turn our attention back to nature and learn more about how we can avoid putting chemicals into our systems

Try this tasty way to naturally decrease your heart disease risk.

In a study done by Dr. Joe Vinson from the University of Scranton in the USA it was found that the consumption of cranberry juice was able to raise HDL (good cholesterol ) levels by 10%. Which results in a decrease of up to 40% in heart disease risk.

The study also found an increase in antioxidant levels in the blood which is strongly associated with lower heart disease risk. Levels of up to 120% were reported.

BUT, that’s right here comes the but….

Avoid cranberry juices that are laced with sugar, try a 100% natural juice else rather go for a supplement. There are so many good alternative available that it really is not necessary to succumb to the sugar trap. If you’re not careful the benefits could be canceled out by the “taste nazi’s” :-).
