Lavender flowers are spike-like flowers composed of multiple, small
purple flowers or “florets” on long narrow stems. They have been valued
for centuries for their physical beauty, soothing fragrance, healing
properties, and multitude of uses. In addition to these characteristics,
lavender flowers also possess a unique meaning.
- Purity
- Silence
- Devotion
- Caution
- Serenity
- Grace
- Calmness
Lavender is used extensively in aromatherapy and for minor injuries.
Infusions are believed to soothe insect bites, burns, acne, inflammatory
conditions and headaches. Bunches of lavender are also known to repel
insects. In pillows, lavender seeds and flowers aid sleep and
relaxation. An infusion of flowerheads added to a cup of boiling water
is used to soothe and relax at bedtime.
Streams of colour
In constant motion
showing shades of beauty hidden
Powered by the wind
As it caresses the river of scent
Gently, softly, lovingly
And moves through the rows…
