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.

 9.   A Sleepy Time Trick ~ Add 2-3 drops of Lavender on a pillow or fill a 2oz spray bottle with water and add 10 drops lavender for your own pillow spray.    

 10.    Add Flavor ~ Lavender adds a unique and delicious flavor to foods and can be used in baking, marinades and drinks.  Just add 1 drop at a time, then taste.  1-2 drops will do.

 11.    Bye Bye Bug Bite ~  Did something just bite me?   Apply 1-2 drops Lavender on bug bite to relieve itching and help eliminate stinging.

 12.   Owie! ~ One drop of Lavender will help relieve the sensitivity of occasional scrapes and minor abrasions.

 13.    Clear The Mind ~  Apply Lavender to the temples and back of neck to lessen the effects of anxious feelings and to promote mental clarity.

 14.    Chill Out ~  Add one drop of lavender in hands, rub together and inhale to calm and relax.
​
 15.    Therapeutic Dish & Laundry Soap ~ Add Lavender for additional aromatherapy benefits to soaps you use to clean dishes and laundry. It transforms your cleaning experience!

​Cheers,
