Lavender oil has long been used in perfumes, cosmetics and massage.
Chosen for its distinctive floral fragrance and soothing capabilities, lavender essential oil offers a range of potential benefits when used alone or blended with other essential oils, such as chamomile or bergamot.
Studies show that lavender oil can have a calming effect and help improve a low mood.
In fact, a study carried out in the UK saw participants reporting a ‘significantly greater improvement’ in anxiety feelings compared with using other essential oils.
Therefore carrying a handkerchief infused with lavender oil or perhaps even using lavender essential oil for hair can surround you with a soothing, calming aroma on days when you are likely to experience stress at home, at work or on the road.
It really is! Thanks to its apparent calming effect, backed by research, lavender is ideal for those struggling to settle into a restful night’s sleep.
While some people use a ready-made lavender spray in their bedrooms, others add just a few drops of essential oil to their washing machine drum or ironing water, when laundering their bed linens.
A simple alternative is to drip a couple of drops of lavender oil onto the rear side of your pillow, remembering that it should not directly touch the skin.
Alternatively, burning lavender oils before bed in a diffuser or enjoying a relaxing bath with lavender salts can do the trick.
Lavender contains the compounds linalool and camphor. Both of these clever ingredients are proven bug repellents, helping to keep not just mozzies but wasps, ants and other creepie crawlies at bay.
Add a drop or two of lavender oil to your moisturiser, dab diluted drops onto your pulse points or smooth the oil into your hair next time you are on holiday, eating outdoors or walking along a canal to give it a try.
Is there anything more indulgent than a lavender massage?
This highly relaxing, soothing oil is an ideal choice for a self-massage (or even better, one given by an obliging partner or friend).
Blend a lavender essential oil with the carrier oil of your choice and enjoy the sensuous benefits of massage combined with the sleep aiding, stress reducing scent of lavender.
Using a carrier oil is a must because essential oils should never be used directly on the skin.
People have been using lavender oil for skin for hundred of years.
Not only does it smell fantastic but it can help to cleanse too, giving it a practical use for spot prone skin. Simply add a drop or two to your usual moisturiser, being sure to patch test first.
You can use antimicrobial lavender essential oil for hair too.
While some of us just love the smell, others find lavender has scalp soothing benefits. Some people believe that this multipurpose oil is even effective in keeping head lice at bay – great news for parents and teachers!
