After a day full of every imaginable frustration - there just weren t enough minutes to the hour, I filled my tub with water and added 15 drops of pure lavender. Within 10 short minutes I was totally relaxed. Now it is your time to experience what lavender can do. A few drops are all you need. One drop of essential oil can be equal to an ounce of the plant.
Lavender has many traditional therapeutic uses.
It can be useful for eczema, psoriasis, burns, thread veins, cuts and wounds, abscesses and ulcers. It can be helpful for colds and bronchitis, for rheumatic pain, muscle spasms, balancing blood pressure, and not least as a sedative to the central nervous system, for headaches, relieving tension and anxiety, mild depression and insomnia. You can use Lavender essential oil as I have in a bath, or a mist spray, by simply breathing it from the bottle, placing it directly on your skin where healing is needed, in a massage or a room diffuser. You can even put a few drops of lavender on a tissue and place it on top of your computer monitor where the heat from the monitor will disburse the molecules. Taking essential oils internally is not advised unless you are under the care of a certified aromatherapist.
