The Secrets of Lavender

My favourite essential oil:

Lavender essential oil is good for so many things that affect us every day, I find that this oil is the most handy to have around the house. Lavender oil you can apply directly to the skin, or you could add one or two drops into the cream you use at home or perhaps a carrier oil (almond, olive, grape seed). Lavender oil and tea tree essential oils are the only essential oils that can be used directly, ensure you are aware of any safety issues of an essential oil before using it.

 Lavender can be good for:

 Skin: abscesses, acne, allergies, athlete's foot, bruises, all types of burns (sun burns), cold sores, cuts, dermatitis, eczema, inflammations, insect bites, psoriasis, ringworm, scabies, scars, stretch-marks and wounds.

 Circulatory and muscular: aches and pains, cellulite, high blood pressure, swelling and pain, helps to relax tight muscles and joint pain.

Respiratory Asthma (use as an inhalation either in the bath or bowl of hot water), bronchitis, coughs, congestion, flu, laryngitis, throat infections, and sinus

Digestion colic, improves digestion, gas, intestines and IBS...

Nervous system balances the emotions, it's calming and relaxing. It can also help with stress, tension and shock.
