lavender and DIY skin support spray

​
#31 drops of oil – October 16

Here’s one of my favorite oils – Lavender.  Lavender has been cherished for its unmistakable aroma and therapeutic properties for thousands of years.  Our Lavender puts all others to shame.  Bad Lavender can smell like cat pee to me!  Ours has a fresh, crisp wonderful aroma!

LAVENDER -- All Things Calming
Lavender can be used all three ways – aromatically, topically and internally.  It is a mild oil that can be diluted 1:1 with a carrier oil.

DAILY USE:

• Soothing, calming bath-time -- add 4 - 8 drops to Epsom salts and then add salts to warm bath water; Diffuse 4 – 6 drops in ultrasonic diffuser
• Apply 1 - 2 drops topically to back of neck, spine or temples when tense
• Carry with you on-the-go since it can be used for almost any reason
• Improve skin appearance -- add Lavender and Frankincense to face cream for high-end luxurious treatment

TARGETED WELLNESS SUPPORT:

• Soothe occasional skin irritation -- apply directly to spot
• Ease muscle tension by targeted topical application
• Take internally (2-3 drops in a capsule) to ease feelings of anxiety and for peaceful sleep
