Lavender aromatheraphy


I told you about my harvest of lavender yesterday but left out some good information on the flower. It is a wonderful calming and balancing oil and has traditionally been used for many different conditions both physical and emotional. Here are just a few advise on how lavender essential oil can be used.

Sleeping  - spraying some lavender aroma spray on your pillow before bed time is a good way to have a calm and deep sleep.

 Diffuser  - keep it on for a two weeks in your bedroom and you will notice the difference in  your sleep.   

Pillow  - using an extra small pillow filled with lavender blooms is also a wonderful way to have the scent handy at night. Just squeeze it and dip your nose right into it and inhale !

Bath  - or add a few drops directly into the hot water.  It is giving a calming mood before moving into the bedroom. I would recommend it for children and elderly.

Laundry  - add a few drop into the washing machine when you are cleaning the bed linens.

Sachets  - i use tiny sachets of lavender in every corner in our bedroom and in the closets. 
It gives a fresh scent to all the textiles and keeps insects away from cashmere.There is nothing worse than the odor of a closed environment and tucked away clothing.  I am a fanatic at opening the windows every morning for airing the rooms.

Burns - if you burn yourself in the kitchen for example use some drops of essential oil and it will help  to heal faster.

enchantly - i used lavender essential oil for this scent in the nara skincare line

Just some hints...
