Lavender Essential Oil




If your new to the world of Essential Oils there are a few things you should know. You can use them three different ways..

1... Aromatically... this is with a diffuser that you use that blows a mist into the air that you use to breath in,

2... Topically... by applying to your skin with or without a carrier oil like coconut oil.

3.. Internally.. by mixing it in food or drink.

 I recently got Lavender oil to use and I used it Topically. I mixed it with the coconut carrier oil and applied it to my body.
 Lavender oil has many uses. Here is just a brief list of what it can do..
    It can help ease...
 STRESS
 PAINS
 BURNS
 SCRAPES
 SLEEP ISSUES
 CUTS
 HEADACHES
 DRY SKIN
 FEVERS
 CRAMPS
 BACTRIA
   
I personally used it to help with my stress and sleep issues. I found that by mixing 2 drops lavender oil to 4 parts coconut oil and applying to my body like you would a lotion. Rubbing it all over. I felt a calming effect and more relaxed after a period of time.
 I also used the same mixture to apply to my feet and then put on socks before bed. In the morning i removed the socks and my feet felt and looked smoother.
 What ever way you decide to use this oil you cant go wrong. But, I must let you know that this brand of Lavender oil can not be used internally.
  The smell is amazing and the bottle comes completely sealed and wrapped in bubble wrap for protection.
 If your new to essential oils and just want to try one at a time Lavender oil is the perfect one to begin with.
