Lavender

Lavender, belonging to the mint family, is an herb that originally comes from the Mediterranean region. It is characterized by its purple flowers and distinctive scent. Lavender has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and aromatherapy due to its calming properties. The herb can be used both fresh and dried and is popular in potpourri, oils, and as a flavoring in various dishes.

In animals such as dogs, chickens, and horses, lavender is often applied to promote a calming effect. For dogs, lavender can help reduce stress and anxiety, for example during thunderstorms or fireworks. In chickens, it is sometimes added to the coop to create a soothing environment and deter pests. Horses can benefit from lavender in their surroundings, which can contribute to their overall well-being and relaxation.

The use of lavender is simple and can be integrated in various ways into the daily care of these animals. This makes it a versatile ingredient in both natural and traditional animal care.
