May boost sleep

Lavender is said to have a relaxing impact on the body, which may help with sleep. Although research on the effects of lavender tea on sleep quality is lacking, they show promise for the future. In one research, women who inhaled 10 deep breaths of lavender aroma four days a week for eight weeks had considerably better sleep quality than those in the placebo group. The study involved 158 new moms in the postpartum period.

Another study on 79 college students who complained of having trouble sleeping found that maintaining good sleep hygiene and inhaling lavender enhanced sleep quality. At night, lavender patches were put on the chest. These findings suggest that relaxing with a cup of lavender tea before bed may improve your sleep quality. This may be especially true, according to a study on lavender aroma, if you take the time to savor and breathe in the fragrance.
