If I had to choose the essential oil most dear to my heart, it would be lavender.The relaxing and uplifting scent invariably lifts my spirits, and helps me sleep. One of the most most versatile of the essential oils,lavender is most useful in almost any blend intended for daily skin care, and strong enough for healing burns, scalds and disinfecting cuts and insect bites. This oil is quite literally a medicine chest in a bottle and has well known antibacterial and soothing properties.
In general lavender is used to relax muscle spasms anywhere in the body, and to relax the body in the presence of pain.
Lavender oil can also be used in facial skin care to sooth and clear the redness often associated with acne prone skin, and act to prevent acne breakouts.

 Lavender's volatile oil contains over one hundred components. This oil has an overall balancing effect on the state of mind and emotions. It has a sweet, balsamic, floral aroma which is enjoyed by all and combines well with many oils including citrus, clove, patchouli, rosemary, clary sage and pine. It's tension relieving properties make it a perfect antidote to todays stressful world.
Lavender oil is used in baths, room sprays, toilet waters, perfumes, colognes, massage oils, sachets, salves, skin lotions and oils. Beware however, most commercial products are stretched with synthetics and may contain as little as 3 percent real lavender making them a poor substitute for the real essential oil. |

 Mercury owns the herb; and it carries his effects very potently. Lavender is of a special good use for all the griefs and pains of the head and brain that proceed of a cold cause, as the apoplexy, falling-sickness, the dropsy, or sluggish malady, cramps, convulsions, palsies, and often faintings. Nicholas Culpeper |
 It is plentiful in Spain and Portugal and it is used as a rule for strewing the floors of churches and houses on festive occasions, or to make bonfires on St. Johns Day, when evil spirits are supposed to be abroad. Growing lavender in your garden is said to bring good luck and has long believed to be a fairy favorite due to it's incredible scent. Traditionally fragrant bundles of lavender were placed in the hands of women during childbirth to bring courage and strength. |
