I use lavender oil to aromatize
the bedroom to help me sleep, love the smell of this oil and the relaxing
sensation it brings. I always look for soaps and gels, shampoos and lotions
that have lavender in it. But with the lavender oil, I can put a few drops in
the tub and it works wonders, relaxing the muscles after a busy day.
I got to try goPURE Lavender Essential Oil (- 4 Oz - Lavender Oil for DIY Skin
Care & Aromatherapy - 100% Natural & Pure Essential Oils - Therapeutic
Grade - No Synthetics, or Additives - Glass Dropper Included) and it’s
wonderful. Love that is 100% natural and the smell last a very long time.
Here are some interesting facts
about Lavander oil (taken from WebMD):
Lavender is used for restlessness,
insomnia, nervousness, and depression. It is also used for a variety of
digestive complaints including meteorism (abdominal swelling from gas in the
intestinal or peritoneal cavity), loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea,
intestinal gas (flatulence), and upset stomach.
Some people use lavender for
painful conditions including migraine headaches, toothaches, sprains, nerve
pain, sores, and joint pain. It is also used for acne and cancer, and to
promote menstruation.
Lavender is applied to the skin
for hair loss (alopecia areata) and pain, and to repel mosquitoes and other
insects.
Some people add lavender to
bathwater to treat circulation disorders and improve mental well-being.
Uses:
- By inhalation, lavender is used as aromatherapy for insomnia, pain, and agitation related to dementia.
- Hair loss in a condition called alopecia areata. There is some evidence that applying lavender oil in combination with oils from thyme, rosemary, and cedarwood might improve hair growth by as much as 44% after 7 months of treatment.
- Anxiety. Some research shows that taking lavender oil by mouth for 6-10 weeks improves anxiety and sleep and prevents anxiety recurrence in people with mild-to-severe anxiety. However, lavender does not seem to be more effective than the anti-anxiety medicationlorazepam (Ativan). So far, early studies disagree about the effectiveness of using lavender oil as aromatherapy for treating anxiety.
- Canker sores. Some research shows that applying two drops of lavender oil to the affected area three times daily can improve canker sore healing and reduce canker sore swelling and pain.
- Fall prevention. There is some evidence that attaching a pad with lavender oil onto the neckline of clothing reduces falls in nursing home residents.
- Pain after Cesarean section (C-section). Some research suggests that inhaling lavender essence while receiving pain killers intravenously (by IV) can help reduce pain in women after a C-section.
