Lavender Fields

Sounds lovely, HW! I can just imagine the scents!

Thanks Hw the pics are great, and as Marie said I bet the scents are too.

Looks an interesting place to visit love the field of Lavender. Lavender helps you breathe better so I bet the aroma was lovely

Ooh yes ...we need scratch 'n' sniff computer screens!

What a brill idea Fluff you will have to send your idea up to microsoft.

Think I might've stolen it from Madperth....but don't tell her....;0)

My lips and fingers are sealed, won't type a word to her lol

I heard you! But I dont mind, as long as you dont get into the murky depths of my mind, you're fairly safe!!LOL!

I thoroughly agree with all of you...we NEED smell-a-vision! And yes it did have a pleasant smell...I wonder why I had a deep seated calm come over me while there? lol

Pure aromatherapy! Cant beat it!

I love the smell of lavender. I always put lavender oil in a burner.

Me too! I'm trying to get some saltpetre to make my own lavender incense, I've got loads this year!

Ohh Madperth...how wonderful for you! I am envious.

As far as the smell goes...I have a lavender bath gel, soap, powder, lotion, cream, anything my Mother in law can find in lavender for me....guess she knows me too well in that area! lol

We make a lavender candle at work...it's one of the few I can recognise when someone shoves it under my nose & says 'what fragrance is this?'!!

LOL! I suppose if you're making them all the time, it would dull your sense of smell!

Wonderful!

Lavender is the aromatherpist's standby! We use it for so many things! Introduced to England by the Romans during the 'invasion' and been with us ever since. It has 'balancing' properties, primarily, it will neither increase nor decrease blood pressure, it neither over-sedates nor over-stimulates, it is a mild anti-inflammatoy, antiseptic ( all essential oils are antiseptic ) and an excellent treatment for mild 'burns', helping cool the skin and heal any subsequent scarring ( cicatrisant )... ( note: 'mild' ).

Oh, don't get me started....once I've got my aromatherapists hat on, I never know when to stop!

And yes, quite right, Mad ( hello, you! ) smelling anything for longer than a few minutes 'dulls' the olfactory receptors ( ooooooooooooooh ) so you can no longer perceive the aroma...you become desensitized.

I'll shut up, right now, and just say many thanks, HW, and I'll look forward to more of the same!

And she's off! Do they have lavender on Zog?????
Sorry, I sat down with a coffee & zonked last night! When I woke up I went straight to bed & slept for 12 hours!
I STILL feel tired! I suppose its just the stress of the last few weeks catching up on me!
But anyway!
It MIGHT have been the lavender oil I'd rubbed in cos my sinuses were playing up!

Hi Mad....let's leave Zog out of this one, eh? Otherwise windy explanations may be in order ( and it's not worth it, folks, trust me, I'm the silly blogger who started it! )

Most probably was the lavender oil, Mad, as some authorities state it to be sedative....though I've come across plenty of people who find it stimulating! It balances your need, I think...so if you need to be relaxed it will help, but if you need to be refreshed it will do that, too!

I'm 'off' again. Shut up, B!

;-)

LOL! I know, I use it for all sorts, & it doesnt always send me to sleep (thankfully!)

I would love to spend an afternoon here Healerw....:>)
