It's true, I am a bit infatuated with herbs and how we can use them in our daily lives.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly when this all started for me. My excessive admiration for herbs, that is. I have been mixing up teas and potions for myself and for others since my teenage years. What I can tell you for sure is that herbs are the most amazing, healing plants on earth.
What I've learned over the years is that there are hundreds of different herbs that help us live healthier, happier lives. To find what herbs will help you the most requires a bit of trial and experimentation.
One of my all time favorites is lavender. Not surprising, I'm sure. Some of you already know that I grow lavender, among other herbs, in my Las Vegas garden, and this particular plant helped begin my Zeeta Body journey. Lavender is one of the most versatile herbs and has historically been known as the most widely used herb for inducing relaxation and sleep, reducing inflammation, repelling insects, and detoxifying. It’s also known to be gentle enough to use with infants, which is why we see so many baby products with lavender added. These properties can be summed up as calming, soothing, and above all, balancing. The most important property of lavender is to restore unbalanced states, whether of mind or body, so that healing and rest can take place.
I've studied that there are over 200 medically tested uses for this amazing plant! It obviously benefits us to incorporate lavender into our daily routines as much as we can and I have a way for you to do this really easily. In addition to its fantastic healing qualities, lavender essential oil's aroma is so neutral that it’s an easy addition to many skin care blends. (For those of you who are unaware, essential oils are a concentrated oil/liquid containing the ‘essence’ of an herb.)
Lavender can be found in the following products:
Chill Out Body Oil - The ultimate blend to cool down body temperature and relax the body and mind.
Clarity Body Oil - Assists in balancing hormones and bringing clarity of mind and body to the user.
