In this episode, MJ speaks with Gerald Quigley, pharmacist and Master Herbalist, about the long-standing use of lavender oil and why it’s still trusted by so many people today.
Gerald explains how lavender oil works through the senses, why it’s commonly used to support relaxation and sleep, and how simple rituals like adding a few drops to a pillow, bath, or temples may help improve sleep quality.
The conversation also explores the growing research around essential oils and why some traditional remedies are gaining renewed attention.
