Applications
Lavender essential oil is frequently used to cleanse, calm and freshen the skin, lessening the agitation caused by abscesses, acne, dandruff, eczema, insect bites, sores, spots, psoriasis and excessive oil. It can make skin appear healthy and vibrant and is particularly noted for its ability to assist the recuperation from burns. Applied to aching muscles, chilblains, rheumatism and sprains, lavender oil will sooth and relieve, restoring much-needed sparkle and promoting more regular circulation.
Lavender is an effective cleanser of the breathing, digestion and genito-urinary system. It can calm incidents of bronchitis, asthma and catarrh whilst comforting laryngitis and throat infections. Excellent at unlocking digestive systems troubled by colic or cramp, this fragrant oil will also encourage the appetite and reduce nausea. It is antiseptic and extremely healing in cases of cystitis, dysmenorrhoea and leucorrhoea.
For those whose lives are blighted by depression, headaches, tension, insomnia, migraine, shock or stress, lavender provides a welcome relief. It relaxes the mind and body, restoring a sense of peace and proportion whilst energising the nerves and focusing the senses. Generally sedating, the oil can stimulate the central nervous system in higher doses. |
