More than a fragrance...
While lavender's many remarkable properties are an ideal means of broadening the use of natural, non-toxic remedies throughout everyday life, its delicate, sweet fragrance is no less sought after.
Considering lavender's aromatherapy benefits, this is no surprise.
Lavender's Power Against Anxiety
Lavender is a naturally occurring anxiolytic.
Anxiety (We all know what this is)
Lytic (Latin meaning '"deconstruct")
The word anxiolytic literally refers to something
that helps ease anxious feelings!
Lavender essential oil used in the bath, on the body and around the house will impart its naturally-occurring soothing, calming, stress-reducing and anxiety-deconstructing power when inhaled.
Note: This is only the case with pure, lavender essential oil. Synthetic fragrance oils may smell like lavender but don't offer the naturally occurring compounds found in pure lavender essential oil and will not have the same beneficial effect.
