Headache Remedy Tea

Click to Purchase
Developed for a customer who gets migraines, this blend of Lavender, Peppermint and Spearmint is fragrant and soothing to the spirit and the nerves.
The gentle, floral fragrance of the Lavender is relaxing and soothing, while the vapors from the mints help to clear the head.
Internally, mint is a vaso-dilator, relieving the tightness and constriction of the bloodvessels in the body (especially in the head) allowing the blood to flow more freely. Since a major cause of headache is constriction of the bloodvessels, this is a big help.
Mint, along with Lavender, is also a muscle relaxer, thus lessening the tension in the head and neck region - another main cause of headaches.
And, since it is totally caffiene-free, there is no chance of a caffiene-induced worsening of the headache, or of a rebound effect.
Ingredients: French "Super-Blue" Whole Lavendar Blossoms, Spearmint and Peppermint Leaves, Rose Petals.
Use 1 Tablespoon per 16-24oz pot.
Use Very Hot (195ºF) Water.
Steep for 3 to 5 minutes
Caffiene Free

Lavender Meringues

The recipe that follows is adapted from Olive Dunn’s, and they remind me of my magical day in her fragrance garden.
The secret to these delectable little morsels is long, slow cooking. As they bake, their fragrance fills the house.
1. Preheat oven to 225°F.
2. Place the flowers and granulated sugar in a blender container. Blend to a fine dust and sift it with the confectioners’ sugar into a bowl.
3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and then beat in a drop of lemon juice. Fold in the sifted lavender sugar.
4. Drop small spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper or parchment paper.
5. Bake for about three hours, or until firm and golden. Cool on a rack.
Filling
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers, crushed
  • Confectioners’ sugar to taste
1. Beat the whipping cream and dried lavender flowers until stiff. Add confectioners’ sugar if desired. Place spoonfuls of the cream between pairs of cooled meringues, and serve the sandwiches immediately.
