Lavender Essential Oil

Is this the best-known and most-used Essential Oil of all time? 

Well, why wouldn't it be? This gorgeous gift of nature has so many uses and benefits.

Legend has it that during the time of the Plague and pestilence, in the places where lavender grew in abundance, there was no disease! Pretty cool huh?

Not only does it have an unmistakable scent, but Lavender essential oil is possibly the most researched for its known benefits. Here's just a few:

• Antiviral
• Antiseptic
• Anti-inflammatory
• Accelerate wound healing
• Prevent scarring

Using Lavender oil in a diffuser can ease headaches and nausea while acting as a decongestant to ease breathing difficulties. Lavender will deodorise stale air and body odour.

My favourite way to use Lavender Essential Oil is to blend it into skincare and massage oils because it is known to soothe emotional and physical stress, boost circulation, stimulate cell regeneration, detoxify, and soothe itchy skin.

Adding lavender Essential Oil to your bath can soothe inflammation, cold and flu-like symptoms and boost the immune system with its antimicrobial properties.

In cosmetics, Lavender Essential Oil stimulates cell regeneration, detoxifies pores, and relieves itchiness associated with dry skin.

Do not use directly on skin, rinse well with plenty of water if irritation occurs and stop use.
