This week's Macro Monday's theme over on flickr is Remedy. I use lavender spray on my pillow at night to help me sleep and at times I use the actual plant from my garden as well. According to the National Sleep Foundation: "...lavender has been shown to decrease heart rate and blood pressure, potentially putting you in a more relaxed state. In one study, researchers monitored the brain waves of subjects at night and found that those who sniffed lavender before bed had more deep sleep and felt more vigorous in the morning." I'm not convinced it helps but I love the scent so I keep trying.
I'm not thrilled with this photo so I'm going to try again tomorrow in daylight. But I decided to go ahead and use it for today's haiku.
