Lavender is a natural relaxant which is useful for treating nervouse exhaustion. This herb has been traditionally used to alleviate mental strain. Lavender can be used as a tea or placed in a sachet which can be placed close to your pillow when you are resting or sleeping. You can also put lavender into a warm water bath one hour prior to going to bed to help you sleep.
