Lavender is a must-have essential oil for every home. From skincare products to relaxing routines, Lavender is a highly versatile oil that can enhance many areas of your life.
Here are 10 ways to use lavender essential oil to support your mind, body, and emotions:
- Diffuse 4-6 drops to calm the mind and relieve occasional nervous tension.
- Diffuse 3 drops Lavender + 3 drops of Cedarwood or Vetiver one hour before bed and while your sleeping to promote deep, restful sleep. If you don't have a diffuser, place 1 drop of Lavender on your pillow.
- Dilute 1 drop of Lavender with 1 tsp of organic cold-pressed carrier oil (e.g., jojoba, olive, coconut oil) and apply it to the back of your neck anytime you're feeling stressed.
- Create a Sleepytime Linen Spray by adding 24 drops of Lavender and 2 tablespoons of unscented witch hazel or vodka to a 4 oz (120 ml) glass spray bottle. Fill with distilled water. Shake before spritzing on pillows, sheets, or linens.
- Create a "Relax" Roller by coming 15-30 drops of Lavender essential oil with a carrier oil in a 10 ml glass roll-on bottle. Apply to wrists, neck, or chest as needed.
- Use Lavender in your DIY facial oils. Here's a simple recipe: add 3 drops of Lavender and 3 drops of Frankincense to a clean and sterile 15 ml dropper bottle. Fill with an organic, cold-pressed carrier oil such as jojoba, rosehip, or sweet almond oil. Shake gently to combine. Apply to forehead, chin, neck, and anywhere fine lines and wrinkles may appear.
- Add 1 drop to your favorite facial serum or moisturizer and apply to your neck and decolletage before bed.
- Inhale directly from the bottle anytime you're feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.
- Make relaxing bath salts by adding 5-7 drops of Lavender to 1 cup Epsom salt + 1 tablespoon carrier oil. Mix well to combine. Add 1/2 cup to a hot bath and soak for 20-30 minutes.
- Diffuse 2-3 drops Lavender + 2-3 drops Lemon + 2-3 drops Peppermint to breathe easy during the spring and summer months. The aroma is divine and your house will smell amazing!
