Lavender Essential Oil

WHY LAVENDER OIL
Lavender oil is known for its skin healing properties and its use as a sedative. Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the most versatile of all essential oils. Most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body, therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin. It may be used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations. The fragrance is calming, relaxing and balancing – physically and emotionally. Carrying a bottle of lavender around with you is like having your own personal first aid kit, perfume and pick-me-up..

HOW TO USE                                                                                                                         Lavender is an essential oil that can uplift your life (and mood), heal and entice in a variety of ways. It's a great secret weapon to have on hand at all times. Here are 3 sure fire remedies that will come handy any day.

1. Calming

Rub 2-3 drops of lavender oil in your cupped palms, then use the inhalation method to draw the scent all the way into your amygdala gland (the emotional warehouse) in your brain to calm the mind. Then, rub on the feet, temples, wrists (or anywhere) for an immediate calming effect on the body. Great for use in crowded areas like planes or subways to carve out your own personal oasis.                                                                                                                                                                           2. Sleep aid
Apply 2 drops of lavender oil, on each palm. Rub them briskly in a circular motion. Cup your palms around your nose and breathe deeply. Repeat 6 times. Then, rub a drop of Lavender oil on your palms and smooth on your pillow to help you sleep..

3.Stress Relief                                                                                                                    Rub a drop of lavender oil between your palms and inhale deeply to help alleviate the symptoms of stress including the onset of headaches and shallow breathing.
