English Lavender (Lavandula vera) is a popular herb known for its calming properties.This shrub has a sprawling habit, growing 2-6 feet tall and 1-3 feet wide. It produces attractive purple-blue flower spikes on long stems that are grey-brown to dark brown in color, with bark that peels longitudinally. The leaves are evergreen, measuring 1-6 cm long and 3-5 mm wide. They cluster on short shoots and have a very short petiole. The leaf blade is linear-lanceolate or linear in shape. Flowers are pinkish-purple and grow in clusters of 6-10 at the top of slender stems that can reach up to 2-10 cm long. The stem supporting the flower spike is typically three times longer than the spike itself.

True lavender originates from the western Mediterranean region and has been used by humans for at least 3,000 years. Various species have been utilized since ancient times for their aromatic and medicinal properties. The unique fragrance of lavender is influenced by its environment, including soil type and climate conditions. The essential oil extracted from lavender can be used as a relaxant when diluted with a carrier oil, often in massage therapy. Research has shown that the simple act of smelling lavender can have a profound impact on mood, reducing anxiety and pain while promoting sleep. Lavender's popularity spans centuries, having been used in bathing and laundry practices throughout northern Europe. It is also combined with certain cheeses made from sheep or goat's milk. In confectionery, dried flowers are often used as garnishes for cakes, particularly when paired with chocolate.

When using lavender essential oil, caution is advised due to its potency, both for external applications and internal consumption.
