Lavender oil uses is so vast, yet so naturally gorgeous. Grandmother Lavender, arguable the most well known little lady in the Western world. She's so elegant, so lovely, so regal, and so so comforting. And, so under-rated.
A GRAND HISTORY
Lavender has been used for over 2,500 years. Ancient persians, greeks, and romans added the flowers to their bathwater to help wash and purify their skin. In fact, the word "lavender" comes from the latin word "lavare," which means "to wash."
Phoenicians, arabians, and egyptians used lavender along with other oils as perfume, as well as for mummification — mummies were wrapped in lavender-dipped garments. In greece and rome, it was used as an all-around cure, while in medieval and renaissance europe, it was scattered all over stone castle floors as a natural disinfectant and deodorant.
ACTIONS
Lavender essential oil has so many used in a home first aid kit, and if your budget is light, it should be the first think you purchase in my opinion. Lavender (lavendula angustifolia) is used in aromatherapy as a relaxant and sedative. It also has carminative, anti-flatulence and anti-colic properties, as well as antiseptic & anti-fungal actions.
So what does all that mean?
Sometimes you may need more than lavender when a condition is more sever, and that is when the rest of the herb and essential oil family can come to the rescue.
But most of the time, little ol' miss lavender will happily do the job.
