The Romans used lavender for cooking, bathing, and to purify the air. Let’s explore more in depth the beneficial uses of Lavender today!
the benefits of lavender
Today more than ever, we’ve formed a bad habit of taking a pill for every ailment. Our ancestors did not do this. Western medicine did not exist. They relied on natural remedies from nature to support wellness not suppress symptoms. However, many people still continue to put lab-made chemicals in their body for simple to solve ailments. Not only is this taxing on the body, it’s only covering the issue instead of solving it. Therefore, let’s look at how lavender oil can help support our wellness…

why we love lavender oil…
Lavender Oil is the most versatile essential oil and the reason why it’s one of our favorites! It contains antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, calming, and emotional support properties. Overall, it supports relaxation, healthy skin & hair, joint pain & sore muscles, and respiratory health. In addition, it naturally repels bugs, disinfects cuts, soothes burns & insect bites. My husband and I love to diffuse lavender oil especially at night because it supports sleep and respiratory health. We also make an aromatic spray with lavender oil that contains equal parts distilled water and witch hazel. We love spraying this on our freshly laundered sheets! It’s also a great carrier oil for soaps, lotions, and lip balms! Honestly, the list goes on and on with what can be done with lavender! It’s truly a must have!
*Disclaimer – Not all essential oils are created equal. In fact, there are only a small percentage that are pure, authentic therapeutic-grade…essentially, you get what you pay for…
