Hi KYH,
OK I will be patient and await your reply (ok I lied I will actually anxiously await your reply).
OK so now I am really wondering about this Lavender!!! Feel Good drug huh? Of late I have made several purchases at the GNC to purchase items (food supplements & vitamins) that they claim help if you suffer from Carpal Tunnel syndrome and started a daily regime of taking them. One such ingredient is the St. John's Wort as it supposedly helps soothe nerves, and the nerve that is causing the pain can be helped by St. John's Wort. Maybe Lavender would make a nice addition to my daily intake of vit's and supplements!

French chefs in and around Provence, France have been incorporating this herb into their cuisine for many centuries. Lavender lends a floral, slightly sweet and elegant flavour to most dishes.

Lavender has been used extensively in herbalism. English lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, yields a highly effective essential oil with very sweet overtones, and can be used in balms, salves, perfumes, cosmetics, and topical applications.

An infusion of lavender is claimed to soothe and heal insect bites. Bunches of lavender are also said to ward off insects. If applied to the temples, lavender oil is said to soothe headaches. Lavender is frequently used as an aid to sleep and relaxation.

Thank you CanMan for the info! I love Lavender as a fragrance, now I am finding out all these other lovely uses, how interesting!
Thanks, CCCathy
