Lavender Salts were an ancient medicine found in old pharmacopeias, known for its stimulating properties. The combined pungent order of ammonia and fresh lavender stimulates the senses. Historically they were used as a remedy for fainting or as a stimulant. In fact, these salts with their scent stimulate a reflex inhalation that causes the breathing muscles to contract faster. It is an ancient remedy that is no longer used today except to take a leap into the past.
