Nutritional Benefits*
Lavender contains naturally occurring antioxidants and aromatic compounds that have made it a beloved herb in traditional wellness practices.

Potential benefits may include:

• Rich in antioxidant compounds
• Traditionally enjoyed to promote relaxation and calm
• May support restful evenings and stress reduction
