Ancient wisdom tell us that this essential oil has been used for medicinal and religious purposes for over 2,500 years! (Source)

From beautifying your skin to nipping bug bite itches in the bud, Lavender is one of the most common, useful, and calming oils ever created by mother nature.

“Lavender, is an essential oil that is often used to

• decrease anxiety
• improve mood
• increase sedation

The reason we have these effects when we inhale the essential oil of lavender is because of the parasympathetic stimulation of the autonomic nervous system, leading to increased beta power and decreased contingent negative variation on encephalogram. Helping overall with our mood and anxiousness.  Understanding that aromatherapy can have positive effects on a being’s stress level it is clear that it can be used for health promotion. (Source)

Lavender is an absolute”must have” for your medicine chest.  It is such a versatile oil with a beautiful and intoxicating floral aroma.
