Lavender Essential Oil Uses

Nature gives us so much to keep our body and mind healthy and happy. And essential oil is one of those nature's little gifts which you can use for your skin, hair, baths, aromatherapy and many other things.

Lavender Essential Oil is one of my favorite, it has so many uses. I'm going to share with you one of the ways I use it. 

After a long working day or after intense workout, or just if you feel a little down - get yourself a little treat, fill your tub up with hot water and put there

• a cup of Epsom Salt
• a few drops of Tea Tree Oil
• a few drops of Lavender Oil

This simple combination works perfect for me, it takes all the tension away from your muscles, makes you feel relaxed and rested. 

The smell of Lavender is used for centuries for relaxation, it's well known for calming effect it has in aromatherapy. 

And the mix of Tea Tree and Lavender Oils works great for your skin, both of these oils are the natural treatments for acne, because they have antibacterial effect. 

It's totally worth it to spend some time in the bath tub at least once a week, you will have a great night sleep (Lavender is also a great remedy when you have insomnia),  will feel rested and fresh in the morning. 

You can order essential oils online or you can buy it in some stores like "Whole Foods". I bought a small 5 oz bottle  of "Aura Cacia" Lavender Oil there for about $10.00 and since I need just a few drops, I'm sure it's going to last me for a while.

And talking about the Lavender, there is one more use for it. Insects hate the smell of Lavender. I always put a little bag with dried Lavender in the closet with my winter sweaters and coats - it keeps all the moths away. Or you can just put a few drops of Lavender Oil on a little pillow and keep it in your closet. And if you like to enjoy fresh air and keep your windows opened, just put that pillow or cotton ball with a few drops of Lavender oil on your window and it's going to keep those annoying mosquitoes away.

I'm totally in love with Lavender Oil, it's a little miracle which can do so much for you! Just try it, bring some relaxation and calmness into your life, simply accept this beautiful present from Mother Nature!
