I wonder how many of you know all properties of lavender? Do you know that it's very useful in cooking as a flavoring and at the same time it's a great sedative? You can use it in so many ways. I must admit that I had no idea how useful lavender can be. I knew only that lavender oil is an ingredient of mothballs and it's component of cosmetics like a Homemade Soap.

Lisa - the owner of 'Condo Blues' shows an easy way of making this aromatic extract. So now you can make a base ingredient of soap, candle, spices or aromatic tincture. It's good to remember that decoction of lavender soothes sore throats and help in treating autumn colds.
