Lavender the beneficial plant watercolor

Give lavender a shot. It has many medicinal properties which can *help different issues such as anxiety/tension, headache, digestion, and sleeplessness. It also is a mood lifter, I can attest. I have a little lavender pillow (shown below) that I keep in my car. Before work, I take a big sniff. BIG SNIFF! It reduces my anxiety and starts my day off right. Because my job is so stressful (I’m often around students with high anxiety), I mix a lavender essential oil (also shown below) with coconut oil and use it like lotion on my skin. I believe my students receive the benefits of the lavender aroma which may help them to relax as well.

This herb is an amazing plant. I’m growing it at home so that I can harvest the buds. Matter of fact, I’m trying to grow many herbs right now. I’ll be drying them after harvest and using them all year round.

If you would like to see how I built an herb garden, watch the video. Stick around to the 4:56 minute mark where you can see a speed step-by-step demo on how to paint a lavender plant in an impressionistic style.

Enjoy!
