These whole lavender buds carry the calm, clean scent that has lived in linen closets, bath water, and evening teas for generations. Long valued in home practice as a relaxing herb, it is traditionally reached for when stress knots up into a tension headache, when restlessness and a racing mind keep the house awake, and — infused into oil in the old tradition — dabbed on minor burns and itchy bug bites at the end of a summer day. A little lavender brings the whole room, and the whole cup, down to a gentler pace.

Everyday uses:
• Gentle evening tea, alone or with chamomile
• Cup and a quiet room, traditionally reached for with tension headaches
• Sachets for drawers, closets, and pillows
• Bath soak or facial steam for a calming ritual
• A pinch in lemonade, syrups, or baked goods

How to use: Steep 1 teaspoon of buds in a cup of hot water, covered, 5–10 minutes, and strain. Shorter steeps stay floral; longer steeps turn bitter, so keep it brief.
