Lavender flowers/buds come from the plant family Lamiaceae, also known as Lavandula Officinalis, and have a variety of uses. They are very aromatic, and they maintain a full aroma even in dry form. The flower buds are extremely light, so a small quantity will go a long way. In terms of aromatherapy, the lavender scent is commonly used for relaxation and peace of mind. The buds are a great substitution for those who don’t like working directly with the oils.
