Lavender is used in everything from hair growth formulas to skin care products and supplements. 

Our Lavender

A lot of the lavender that makes it into supplements, sprays, and other consumer products is an essential oil or extract, both of which are produced by heavily processing the lavender buds. We only use pure, unadulterated lavender, which means it’s safe to drink, it tastes great, and at no point do the buds touch solvents or alcohol.

Lavender tastes great on its own, but it's even better when added to other herbal mixes. You can create a great tasting tea by combining lavender with synergistic herbs like camomile, lemon verbena (both of which are also used in Catnap), lemon balm, Greek mountain tea, and anything else that takes your fancy.

We have seen a few herbal mixes that use lavender alongside valerian, but while this can be a beneficial drink, it’s far from a tasty one. Valerian’s taste has been likened to a cat’s litter tray—not something you want to sip on in the evening as you sink into a bubble bath.

Don’t be scared to experiment. Just make sure you use a good-quality lavender and don’t go overboard with the dosing (it can be bitter in large doses).
