I don't know where you can find the lavender flowers. However I would like to warn you about having large amounts of lavender buds as they are the main ingredient for valuim which is used to treat anxiety and may be considered a controlled drug in Thailand.

You can chill out.

This is a common myth.

Lavender as a sedative is associated with the Valerian root (name is similar but not related to Valium, and hence the myth).

Unlike Valium, Valerians are not habit forming or leave you with a hangover.

One is natural other os a pharmaceutical containing benzodiazepines. You should not in fact take lavender teas for example if you are on Valium, ask a chemist.

I've seen the essential oils of it - don't know how pure they are....

Morocco and France are MAJOR world producers!
