Mix up a 2% solution (12 drops per ounce) of lavender oil with water in a small spritzer spray bottle. Add a few drops of botanic/castile soap, to help the oil and water mix. Use as you would any spray deodorant.ilution, no additions, no modifications. Unfiltered and undiluted and unadulterated for the best result.
[Shampoo] Add a few drops of lavender oil to your shampoo bottle and stir or shake well, for fresher smelling hair and, a clean and well conditioned scalp.tions such as masks or oils, a 1% or less dilution is recommendable. For massages oils and other leave-on body products, a 2% dilution is recommendable, and for other rinse-off bath and body products, a 3% dilution is recommendable.
[Shower] Run hot water in the shower, and sprinkle in a few drops of lavender on the floor or walls of the shower out of the direct stream of water. The heat/steam will vaporize the lavender. Lavender oil is more relaxing in this use, peppermint oil more stimulating.100% Natural Ingredient. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Bottled in USA. No Sulfates. No Parabens. No Phthalates.

[Foot Bath] Soak your feet in a solution of 2% lavender oil and warm water. Add a few drops of botanic or castile soap to help the oil and water mix, and some epsom salts if available. Let soak for five or ten minutes, then brush around the cuticles and nails with a small soft brush.

Mix 1/4 cup of liquid castile soap, 1/2 teaspoon of olive, rosehip, or other light carrier oil, add 10 drops of tea tree oil, and enough tea to make up a total of 4 ounces.

Why Bulgarian Lavender Oil?
1. Bulgarian lavender oil has a top note of strong aroma. It has a rich floral scent that is fruitier, mellower and less camphoraceous than Lavender 40/42, and smells more like fresh lavender. Its aroma is at once more pronounced and assertive. Bulgarian Lavender also has a deeper and more fixative scent, than the other varieties of lavender. For this reason, Bulgarian lavender is preferred for use in perfumery – much more so than its English or French counterpart, which is higher in "camphor".  2. The therapeutic properties of Bulgarian lavender are amplified due to its high linalool and linalyl acetate content. These make Bulgarian Lavender Oil the number one choice for calming blends and for diffusing during meditation and massage.  3. Bulgaria’s unique climate and soil types are particularly beneficial to growing quality lavender for essential oil. Black Sea provides a moderating climactic effect, and the Balkan Mountains provide much-needed protection from Siberian winter winds.  4. Bulgarian lavender oil provides lustre to the skin, balance to the body and keeps the mind calm. It is one of the essential parts of your wellness and relaxation kit. You can always find it is diffused in all the spas as it is the most popular oil for aromatherapy. It has a ton of uses at home as well. People use Bulgarian lavender oil for skin, hair and relaxation benefits.
