The Lavender Balm (Lavandula Angustifolia) contains the same active ingredients as dried Lavender herb. In modern herbal therapy, dried Lavender flowers are mainly used to reduce anxiety and tension.

Lavender is generally considered to have calming properties and for this reason it can also be used in cases of melancholy and mild depression. Its extract is considered by many herbal therapists to be suitable for treating nervous headaches and insomnia.
