My Dear Sweet Lavender....

Organic Lavender Extra Essential Oil has a very soothing sent and wide range of therapeutic benefits. It is the most popular essential oil used in aromatherapy. It has a sweet light floral aroma with herbal notes. Blends well with; Citrus Oils, Roman Chamomile, Clary Sage, Geranium Rose. One of my favorite ways to use Lavender is to diffuse it in and around the house or car! And it is safe to use around animals (great calming benefits for them also!)

Some Ways You Can Use Lavender

Lavender is an essential oil that I always keep in my stash! It is so versatile, and smells so yummy! But here are some ways to use Lavender; 
Burns, cuts, scars: Topical Application diluted 5% in carrier oil. If the wound is open, use undiluted in minute quantities. Helichrysum is preferable for larger injuries.
Sore muscles: Topical Application diluted 3-5% in carrier oil.
Anxiety: Diffusion, Topical Application diluted 5% in carrier oil, Aromatic Bath.
Sleep disturbances: Diffusion, Topical Application diluted 3-5% in carrier oil.
Safety Precautions
Generally non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and nontoxic. Be confident you are using true Lavender Oil, as Lavender is one of the most frequently adulterated essential oils.

Therapeutic benefits of Lavender; 
The refreshing, floral scent of Lavender creates a calm, peaceful atmosphere, while instilling a sense of well-being. It harmonizes your nervous system with the perfect balance of masculine and feminine qualities. Lavender is healing, rejuvenating and cleansing for your skin. It is well-known for its ability to heal burns, as well as cuts, bruises, insect bites, sore muscles and scars. With its mothering energy and soothing aroma, it is the first choice in the treatment of insomnia and all stress-related conditions.

Traditional Uses
Beloved around the world for centuries, Lavender gets its name from the Latin word “lavare,” meaning “to wash,” and was used to repel the fleas that carried the plague. The colorful herb was sought by ancient Romans, who added Lavender to their baths for its antiseptic qualities and lovely aroma. The scent was thought to encourage amorous feelings in men while preserving the chastity of women. This inspired unmarried girls to sneak Lavender into the pillows of their love interests and hang their damp linens on Lavender bushes to absorb the fragrance. Not surprisingly, the oil is prized by perfumeries who want to add depth, complexity and romance to their blends.
About the Plant
An evergreen shrub that grows up to three feet tall, Lavender has green, woody, upright stems that produce abundant blue-violet flowers.
Native to the Mediterranean region, Lavender is now cultivated in France, Bulgaria and Kashmir.
Family
Lamiaceae – The Mint Family

I like the smell of lavender. I also like its colour. I notice that usually the things that smell nice, taste or look awful. I am not sure if lavender has a taste, but I also like how it looks. I feel we are deeply connected with each other and for the same reason, I don't repel its presence. I find it funny that in life, we are like this to some people. There are those that we hate for no reason. As for those that we love, there's nothing wrong with keeping things this way.

I like periwinkle. It reminds me of lavender. It looked nice and it smells great. It has a soothing effect. People use it to treat mild headaches. It really removes the little stresses of each day. If I am going to design my own home someday, I am seriously considering adding a touch of lavender in every corner. It looked very feminine. The only weird thing about it is when some dumb kid associate it with Barney.
