Lavender is reputed for its calming effects, helping to ease stress and anxiety. The antioxidant components in lavender can impact the endocrine system to reduce the levels of stress hormones in the body and boost the production of dopamine (your happy hormone). Lavender is very versatile, tea can be made from the flowers, essential oil can be diffused to promote a relaxing environment, or it can be consumed in your favourite baked goods.
