How to Care for Lavender After Blooming

Now is the perfect time to take care of your lavender. If you grow lavender in a flowerbed or garden, remember: after it blooms, it’s important to prune it in time. This not only keeps the bush looking neat but also stimulates repeat blooming and lush growth next year.

Moreover, lavender flowers are not just beautiful — they’re a true aromatic treasure with many benefits.

Lavender Tea — An Elixir of Calm

Lavender tea is not just a fragrant drink, but a true elixir of calm.

Benefits of Lavender Tea

• Soothes the nervous system — helps relieve stress, anxiety, and irritability, and promotes deep sleep.
• Eases headaches — especially if caused by tension or nervous strain.
• Improves digestion — reduces bloating and cramps, and helps with stomach upsets.
• Supports women’s health — may ease PMS symptoms and menstrual cramps.
• Has anti-inflammatory properties — helps the body fight internal and external inflammation.

How to Brew Lavender Tea

1. 1 teaspoon of dried lavender (flowers)
2. Pour over 200 ml of boiling water
3. Let it steep for 5–7 minutes covered
4. Strain and drink warm. You can add honey or lemon if desired.

It’s best to drink it in the evening or whenever you need to relax.

Lavender Sachets — Aromatic Magic at Home

After harvesting lavender, don’t throw away even the smallest blossoms — they make wonderful aromatic sachets. This is not only a pleasant scent but also a natural way to improve sleep, mood, and the atmosphere in your home.

What You Need

• Dried lavender (just flowers or with thin stems)
• Natural fabric (linen, cotton, organza)
• Thread or ribbon
• Optional — other herbs (mint, chamomile), spices (cinnamon), or a few drops of lavender essential oil

How to Use Lavender Sachets

• Place in your wardrobe — lavender repels moths and gives clothes a light, pleasant scent.
• Under your pillow or near your bed — for calm sleep and relaxation.
• In a bag or car — a natural, chemical-free air freshener.
• As a handmade gift — a charming, soulful keepsake.

So — don’t wait! Cut, dry, and save — and let summer stay with you in the aroma of lavender.
