heather, at shivaya naturals, keeps a bowl of cold water with a few lavender buds on hand all day, for moments of when a mama needs to recharge quickly.
we have a big bag of lavender laying around here and besides the rice pillows that i made with them i hadn't really found another use for them ... until now that is.
i made a little reusable/refillable filter-sack out of potato-sack-fabric (we tried it with just the loose buds in the water but the wash-towell and your face would get covered in soaked lavender buds and my Ls were not too excited about that) and we now enjoy a refreshing, lovely lavender bath whenever needed (which in L's case is every 5 minutes :)
it smells so wonderful and an instant sense of calm comes over you as soon as the cool, lavender soaked towel touches your face.
mr. c reminded me that i used to carry a small bottle of lavender oil with me when i was pregnant with L, since this was the only thing that could calm my always unhappy prego-stomach.
no wonder my L loves it so much!
try it and enjoy it!
~ be well
