... it has calming properties, used in aromatherapy as well as brewed as a tea.
but i also think it is just amazingly beautiful... and since i can't send you the scent, i am sending you a pic:
at my last job, there was some planted as part of the main office landscaping. i only passed it on my way there and home... walking to/from bus stop. i would sometimes nip a single sprig off and take whiffs from it from time to time. it made the walk more soothing, especially at the end of the day when my nerves were in pieces.
'sending soothing lavender thoughts to you, dear Mari. I hope you feel better soon.
