Product description:

With a freshly herbaceous, sweetly floral, and somewhat camphoraceous fragrance, Lavender Organic Essential Oil leaves behind a marvelously mellow scent trail with a slightly fruity nuance. A soothingly aromatic oil with many versatile notes, Lavender blends especially well with floral, citrus, and herbaceous scents, such as Ylang-Ylang, Jasmine, Orange, Lemon, Clary Sage, and Thyme. The warm, smooth aroma of Lavender is said to help soothe negative emotions and feelings of nervous tension. It is also reputed to help purify the air, supporting the body’s natural defenses against common colds and flu.

Lavender oil is a highly popular essence that is known to promote easier breathing, uplift negative moods, and pacify the mind and body to help reduce stressful feelings, promoting feelings of relaxation in their place. Lavender’s comforting scent is beneficial for diffusing during long travels, studying, or on any other occasion when concentration is required for extended periods of time, as it is known to help diminish feelings of fatigue and restlessness.

Quick and easy recipes:

Massage blend: For a massage oil blend to pamper tired muscles, dilute 5 drops of Lavender Organic Essential Oil in 10 ml (0.33 oz.) of a carrier oil before applying it to the affected or preferred areas, such as the arms, legs, and back.

For use in a soothing massage, mix 4 drops of Anise Star Essential Oil with equal parts of a carrier oil of personal preference, and massage into the preferred or affected areas of the body to promote feelings of comfort and support the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Diffuser blend: For an aromatherapy recipe that is reputed to promote the body’s natural defenses, especially at times when cold symptoms are beginning to manifest, simply dilute 6-8 drops of Lavender Organic Essential Oil and add it to a diffuser of personal preference. This can be diffused in a living room or a bedroom to promote feelings of relaxation and encourage restful sleep.

Bath blend: For a comforting bath oil that is reputed to promote feelings of deep relaxation and to help refresh the muscles, dilute 6-8 drops of Lavender Essential Oil in a preferred carrier oil and ½ cup of Epsom Salts. Add the final blend to a warm bath and soak for 10 minutes.
