I love the smell of lavender. There are so many purposes for lavender. Lavender is an anti-inflammatory and can be used topically or internally. I had hurt my right hip while golfing a few months ago and a friend of mine had given me some lavender oil. So, I decided to use some on my hip and it seemed to help. Lavender is also a calming agent on the brain if you are going to sleep you might try a little lavender oil on your pillow.

If you would like to learn about lavender and make a fun weekend starting on Friday through Sunday it is the Lavender Festival in Palisade. If you would like to find out more information on the Lavender Festival in Palisade you can log on to Coloradolavender.org.
