Lavender is a perennial herb plant with heavenly fragrance. This plant grows in cool climates and mostly in areas that are not very hot or humid. Surprisingly, this is a genus from the mint family and the color lavender is actually named after 'lavandula angustifolia,' the most widely cultivated flower species. There are hundreds of different varieties of lavender; each one with its own special quality such as plant or flower size, flower or leaf color, fragrance or hardiness. Although lavender is usually associated with shades of blue, plants are available in varying hues of purple and lilac, white, pink, mauve and even yellow. Lavender is known to have numerous healing properties but is majorly used in the production of essential fragrance oils. It can help relieve headache, migraines and insomnia. It has soothing properties and is often associated with calming the nerves or relieving anxiety.
