Arguably one of the most well-known essential oils, there are several reasons why Lavender is at the top. Accompanying its beautiful, herbaceous-floral aroma is a laundry list of therapeutic benefits you can put to use each and every day. The aroma itself can help promote a calm, peaceful, yet tranquil atmosphere. It is wonderful to diffuse before bedtime to help provide a good night’s rest or to simply enjoy a sense of relaxation. It helps to calm feelings of stress and emotional exhaustion, offering a sweet, natural way to experience calm whenever you need it. Once added to a carrier oil, Lavender can help soothe the skin, making it a valuable addition to your natural healing kit for minor cuts and scrapes, thanks to its cleansing properties. Lavender can also support healthy skin by soothing red, irritated areas.
