Made from our lavender and ribbon. Can be used as home decor, in a lingerie drawer, sheet closet, or near a bedside table or birthing area as an aromatherapy aid. Lavender is known for it's calming and relaxing effect. These wands are not heavily scented, until they are squeezed, and they then release their fragrance. They last (fragrance full when gently squeezed) for up to 100 years. Of course, the fresher the better. To use as a labor aid, I recommend the mother keep the wand close, and when she has a contraction gently squeeze the wand, and focus on the scent, trying to identify all the different notes, using it to visualize a lavender field or a lavender farm, or fond memories of summer. Aromatherapy is an effective tool because aroma triggers sensory information that travels faster than pain, and according to the gate theory or pain, the mind can only process a limited amount of sensory information at a time, and pleasurable scent trumps pain.
