Lavender essential oil is one of my favorite, and the benefits are endless. It is a universal oil most commonly used for calming the body. But it is one of the handful of oils that can be used anywhere. Not only is lavender one of the most nostalgic and pleasing aromas, but it promotes a general sense of well-being and creativity.
Lavender has excellent therapeutic properties, and is known as the relaxing essential oil. It can promote healthy hair and skin, it balances emotions, aides cardiovascular system health, and is great for the nervous system. The powers of lavender oil are incredible!
Let’s start with the effects on the hair and skin. It does wonder for our hair, especially for dandruff and hair loss. For the skin, lavender is a great tool to use for acne and other skin irritations, such as bruises, boils, burns and bites. It is a great relief from insect bites, and is very effective for tick bites. It can be used on minor cuts, as well on sores. Some even use it on stretch marks, scars and wrinkles with great success!
