Ways to use our French Lavender
For aromatherapy – Place bunches of dried flowers in vases in your bedroom, bathroom or by the entryway.
As potpourri – Place the dried flowers in a bowl (this is a great use for the buds and flowers that fall off the stems).
Inside a pillow or mask – Add the dried flowers to homemade buckwheat pillows or sleep masks to help promote relaxing sleep.
As a laundry or drawer freshener – I sew the dried flowers into small satchels and use them in place of dryer sheets in the dryer. (Great project for kids!)
As a face scrub – The dried flowers and oatmeal makes for a gentle, fragrant face scrub.
As a bath salt – try one of our favorites!
