8. Rich in Antioxidants
Free radicals, like toxins, chemicals, and pollutants, damage your immune system and cause oxidation inside your body. Free radicals are missing electrons and so attach to healthy cells to complete the bond. This process harms healthy tissue and creates disease. Antioxidant enzymes -- particularly glutathione, catalase, and superoxide (SOD) -- are the body’s defense against free radical damage. Lavender can increase the number of antioxidants in the body.
