Some benefits of Lavender; 

When adding Lavender to your essential oil collection, it’s important to understand its benefits. Here are some of the health-boosting abilities of Lavender oil:

  • Lowers Stress: When inhaled, Lavender oil may help reduce high blood pressure and heart rate. The oil also has anti-anxiety and depression-reducing properties, but will not cause drowsiness or other side effects.
  • Prevents Illness: Lavender oil may have immune-enhancing capabilities, which may help it destroy bacteria and viruses. Its antiseptic qualities make it a great choice for those suffering from oral health issues. It’s also a great addition to your first-aid kit.
  • Reduces Signs of Aging: Use Lavender oil in your skincare routine to tone and tighten skin, reduce the appearance of scars, and diminish dark spots. It may also be a good option for those with dry or cracked skin.
  • Improves Sleep: Any way you spin it, the foundation of a healthy lifestyle starts and ends with sleep. One study found that several whiffs of lavender oil before bed increased the percentage of deep sleep time in healthy men and women. It even has beneficial effects for those who suffer from insomnia—a study found that inhaling lavender oil twice a week for 20 minutes at a time soothed the nervous system and improved sleep.
  • Relieves pain: It can help ease muscles, joint pain, sprains and backache. Simply massage lavender oil onto the affected area. Lavender oil may also help lessen pain following needle insertion. Just massage it gently over the affected area and watch out for results. If ingesting Lavender oil, it is important to choose a 100% pure oil, and to properly dilute the oil before use.

How to use:

Bath & Shower

The essential oil is inhaled through the aromatic steam, as well as being absorbed by the skin. For adults, add up to 5 drops in 2 tbsp bath oil, shower gel, or carrier oil. For children over 2 years old or adults with sensitive skin, reduce the amount to up to 2 drops per 2 tbsp. Not suitable for children under two years old.

Inhalation

This technique helps to clear your head and nose. For adults, add 4–6 drops to a bowl of steaming water, pace a towel over your head and breathe. Children over 2 years old, adults with sensitive skin and asthmatics should not inhale directly. Instead, place the bowl of hot water with added oils in the room nearby. Not suitable for children under two years old.

Massages

Relaxes your body and mind while helping to soothe aching muscles. For adults, use up to 7 drops in 1 tbsp of base oil. For children over 2 years old or adults with sensitive skin, use up to 3 drops in 1 tbsp of base oil. Not suitable for children under two years old.

Diffusers & Burners

A natural air freshener, this technique creates a relaxing ambiance and mood. For adults, add 1–3 drops in a diffuser or burner. For children over 2 years old, add 1–3 drops in a diffuser. Not suitable for children under two years old.
Traditionally used as a soothing antiseptic essential oil, lavender is a good general first aider.

Precautions

Essential oils are concentrated substances, and because of this we do not recommend using them without diluting them first. Add essential oils to a carrier oil such as jojoba, coconut, almond, or others, before using. Diluting them in this way provides a measure of protection from skin irritation, allergic reactions, and even sensitization.

A general rule of thumb for diluting is to use a 1% dilution for children (aged 6 years and older); pregnant women; elderly adults; those with compromised immune systems, sensitive skin, or other serious health issues. A 2% dilution is acceptable for the average adult with no health issues. Higher dilutions can be used, depending on the situation and the health of the person they will be applied on. We recommend that you use the lowest dilution possible that provides effective results.

Note: A 1% dilution would be adding 3 drops of essential oil per tablespoon of carrier.

Safety

Gone Balmy does not endorse internal therapeutic use (oral, vaginal or rectal) of essential oils unless recommended by a health care practitioner trained at an appropriate clinical level.
Pregnancy: There are differing opinions regarding the use of essential oils during pregnancy, labor and delivery. Gone Balmy recommends seeking advice from your Health/Medical Practitioner.
