Episode Summary
There are so many benefits of lavender! It’s frustrating to me that this herb gets shrugged off as a scent in cleaning supplies or only used as an essential oil. The reality is, the whole plant makes powerful medicine and delicious treats. In this episode I’m sharing many lavender benefits plus showing you how easy it is to make lavender honey.
Dipping your toe into the world of lavenders will show you how complex this common herb can be… The best way to get to know lavender is to enjoy it often.
