Lavender has been used for centuries in both Muggle and magical wellness practices.
Its sweet aroma is considered naturally calming, making it one of the safest herbs kept in Hogwarts storage.
Though mild, it reinforces the emotional grounding of any potion it’s added to, especially recipes aimed at sleep or anxiety reduction.
