Lavandula hybrida – Lavender Flowers

The Lavandula hybrida is a class of hybrid of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia.. This Lavender is widely cultivated for commercial use, since their flowers tend to be bigger than those of English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and the plants tend to be easier to harvest.

Since ancient times, lavender has been used to reduce symptoms and provide support for multiple conditions. Modern science has confirmed many of its health benefits, while others are still under investigation. The German scientific committee on traditional medicine reported uses of lavender flower in practices of herbalism, including its use for restlessness or insomnia, Roehmheld’s syndrome, intestinal discomfort, and cardiovascular diseases, among others. The US Food and Drug Administration considers lavender as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for human consumption.

• dried flowers
• essential oil
• topical oil
• capsules
• teas, tisanes, and infusions
