Lavender Oil Uses

Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils on the trade of essential oil and for good reason. It smells great and is an effective stress-relieving oil. The name stems from the Latin word “lavera,” meaning “to wash.” In addition to stress-relieving properties, Lavender is a healing aid against cold, flu, depression and headache. 

Extraction and Application: Lavender is extracted from the lavender flowers of the plant and steam distilled. Lavender can be used several different ways. Given the origin of its name, it’s a wonderful essential oil to use in a bath & spa. Many massage therapists use it to help relax their clients. Add a few drops to a diffuser or even your pillow before bedtime to get a good night’s sleep.

Aromatherapy Uses: Lavender is most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body, therapeutic-grade lavender has been highly regarded for the skin.

Carrying a bottle of lavender around with you is like having your own personal first aid kit, perfume and pick-me-up.
