Lavender is a universal oil known for it’s calming and relaxing properties. Some call it the “Swiss Army Knife” of essential oils because it is so versatile. Below, I share with you my 15 favorite uses for Lavender.
1. Lavender Bath ~ Take a handful of Epsom salts and add 5 drops of Lavender oil. Then sprinkle in your bath water for an ultra-relaxing experience.
2. Relax & Rest ~ After a hard work out or a long day on your feet, rub Lavender along with Lemongrass on your legs and feet. This will help soothe sore muscles.
3. Magic Mascara ~ add 1-2 drops to your mascara for strong beautiful lashes. BONUS, you get an added calming therapeutic effect while you do your makeup.
4. Quick Fix ~ Mix three parts Fractionated Coconut Oil with one part Lavender essential oil help clear up skin irritation associated with chafing. Great for little ones!
5. Dream Time ~ Rub 1-2 drops on the bottoms of the feet for a more restful sleep.
6. Fresh Laundry ~ Add 2-4 drops to wool laundry balls and throw in your drier. No more toxic laundry softness are needed!
7. That’s Hot! ~ Did you touch a pan or iron that was still hot? Apply Lavender oil to the affected area to soothe skin irritation, relieve redness and ease puffiness.
8. After Sun Spray ~ In a 2 oz glass spray bottle add 10 drops Lavender and 10 drops peppermint. Fill the rest up with fractionated coconut oil to soothe and cool skin.
