Lavender

• Helps ease feelings of tension

• Promotes restful night's sleep

• Soothes occasional skin irritations

Doterra’s Description:

Lavender has been used and cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume. Its calming and relaxing qualities, when taken internally, continue to be Lavender’s most notable attributes. Applied topically, Lavender is frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. Add to bath water to soak away stress or apply to the temples and the back of the neck. Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep. Due to Lavender’s versatile properties, it is considered the must-have oil to have on hand at all times.

How I use lavender:

• Diffuse it at night to relax my mind and body (I literally feel my shoulders soften down my back when I smell pure lavender)

• Add one drop per laundry ball when drying my clothes (I no longer use dryer sheets as they are chock full of chemicals, artificial scents and toxins)

• Use it in a rollerball as perfume for myself and to treat my daughter's eczema

• Add it to water for a soothing and relaxing night time drink (make sure you choose a brand like DoTerra that is certified therapeutic grade if you are going to ingest)
