Gee, your herb smells terrific!
It's been documented that the use of lavender oil to treat conditions such as anxiety, stress, alopecia and insomnia is incredibly beneficial. Lavender is also being used in studies for its antibacterial and antiviral properties but is most commonly found being used in more homeopathic applications such as soaps and scented oils as research confirms its calming sedative effects when its scent is inhaled.
Kin to lavender is another herbal treat... vanilla beans. The chief chemical component in the beans is vanillin. They also include numerous traces of other constituents such as eugenol, caproic acid, phenoles, phenol ether, alcohols, carbonyl compounds, acids, ester, lactones, aliphatic and aromatic carbohydrates and vitispiranes. Its extract contains small amounts of B-complex groups of vitamins such as niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin B-6. These vitamins help in enzyme synthesis, nervous system function and regulating body metabolism.
Fortunately, Buffalo Trader Online offers both the Vanilla and Lavender Home Fragrance Oil! Perfect for potpourri, or to be used with oil warmers such as Buffalo Trader's Coffee Pot & Stove Ceramic Oil Burner. Indulge your senses... and feel better doing so.
Mother's Love
Mother's Day as we know it began as a meeting of groups of mothers who had lost sons in the Civil War. These activities occurred mostly locally until 1868 when Ann Jarvis endeavored to unite families that had been divided as a result of the war by creating a committee to establish "Mother's Friendship Day." Ann passed away on May 9, 1905, when her daughter, Anna Marie Jarvis, established Mother's Day in its present form. Annual celebrations were then held in Ann Jarvis' hometown of Grafton, West Virginia, where carnations were passed out to all mothers in attendance. Meanwhile Anna Marie petitioned to establish Mother’s Day as a national holiday for women to celebrate the lives of their fallen sons.
In 1910, West Virginia was the first state to declare the holiday. And finally on May 9, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Mother's Day which falls on the second Sunday in May. Eventually, the carnation flower became a symbol on Mother's Day. Wearing a red carnation implied your mother was living and a white one if she was deceased.
