How to use Lavender Essential Oil in daily life

We often refer to lavender essential oil as "liquid gold".  It's pale golden hue is certainly apt, but it is in the myriad of everyday uses that lavender essential oil's precious value comes to the fore.  Its application spans the breadth of daily life from personal care and therapeutic to home and pet care settings.  Like gold, it is also costly to create.  On average 1 fluid ounce of pure essential oil can be distilled from 2 mature lavender plants.  It requires an immense amount of plant material to create a very small amount of essential oil*, but, like gold, it only takes a little bit to be effective.  Lavender essential oil is so potent, any application requires only a few drops.  Scroll down to learn how a few drops will benefit your daily life...
  

PERSONAL CARE and THERAPEUTIC USES

Lavender Essential Oil is one of the few natural plant oils that can be applied undiluted directly to the skin with no toxic effects.  As such, it is highly effective as a topical antiseptic, anesthetic and anti-inflammatory in many common therapeutic situations:
  • superficial cooking or baking burns
  • bee stings or bug bites
  • abrasions
  • preventing wound infection
  • treating pimples (utilizing lavender's natural solvent property as well!)
  • minimizing scar formation during healing processes

Organic Lavender Essential Oil is a "must have" for your natural First Aid Kit. 

Additionally, it can be used on the body as a...

  • soothing, calming sleep inducer (dab a drop or two just below the nose at bedtime)
  • tension headache and stress reducer
  • perfume with the added benefit of an insect repellant
  • bathing adjunct to create a fragrant aromatherapy soak

 

HOME and PET CARE USES

Lavender's naturally occurring solvent, disinfectant and insect repelling properties are an ideal means of broadening the use of natural, non-toxic remedies throughout the home and with four-footed family members.  For example...
  • Use to remove difficult adhesives, oils, paint and tree sap as a natural solvent instead of resorting to chemical treatments
  • Regularly apply between your dog’s shoulder blades to keep fleas and ticks at bay
  • Freshen linens and keep moths away from woolens
  • In the form of a lavender candle or room mist or with an ultrasonic diffuser to keep your living space or office fresh and fragrant


When considering any product, especially one used to care for body, home and pets, quality is of the utmost importance.  To ensure optimum quality, all our essential oil is USDA Certified Organic and 100% pure plant oil.

 

*This is true for all pure essential oils. Which is why pure essential oils are more expensive than "essences", "oils", "aromas" or any of the other names that others give to products that, rather than containing only the pure plant oil, often contain fillers or synthetic fragrances.  It's best to avoid these imposters and use only, pure plant essential oils.  Because they are unadulterated, a little bit goes a very long way and they have very long shelf-lives — both mitigating the initial cost.

Pure organic lavender oil is amazing! We use it in so many forms and ways – in our diffuser, candles, on our skin, good for insect bites, burns, irritated skin – you name it!!. We have a Golden Retriever and he loves the smell of lavender it calms him. When we travel we always carry a diffuser with us, if we leave the hotel room for a couple hours we have the diffuser on with organic lavender oil, along with TV or radio and he is calm and content in his crate. We love your organic lavender!! One of my favs is your Lavender Treatment Stick!
