Lavender
Description
Its pungent flavor and cooling properties enter the lung and heart meridians, providing aromatic benefits for regulating qi, relieving depression, and calming the mind, as well as soothing the skin. Internal use can alleviate anxiety, insomnia, and irritability; external use (such as fumigation with a decoction or extracting the essential oil) can help soothe skin discomfort and reduce minor inflammation.
