19 Jan The Benefits of Lavender Oil

Many products for the skin contain lavender oil, which as we all know, smells wonderful. What is it about lavender oil that makes it one of the go-to ingredients in nearly all natural skin and cleansing products? Lavender oil offers many holistic healing benefits while remaining gentle on your skin and home surfaces. Like olive oil, it truly is one of nature’s most amazing wonders. There are numerous benefits of lavender oil, but let’s explore three of the most remarkable ones that help qualify it as an essential oil. Lavender, in combination with other essential oils, will make your body feel young again while your mind remains sharp enough to know what you only wished you knew in high school.

1. Natural Anti-Inflammatory : One of the sensational benefits of using lavender is that it’s a natural anti-inflammatory. Aside from using this knowledge to help reduce swelling from bruises, it can also be used to help heal the skin from bug bites. While it is possible to utilize bug sprays and other lotions to prevent and heal pesky bug bites, lavender allows you to heal the skin without adding other harmful chemicals which may cause certain types of allergic reactions. Therefore, lavender is a great oil to keep with you anytime you know you will be exposed to the elements.
2. Natural Cleanser : Lavender contains natural antibacterial qualities that make it a wonderful cleanser for your skin. Because it is not harsh on the skin, lavender is even more appealing to use in items like hand sanitizers, make-up remover, and other skin cleansers. It also can be used because of its anti-inflammatory qualities, to clean fresh wounds, leaving the wound feeling less irritated, more clean, and smelling nice as well. In addition, it contains an anti-fungal agent to allow deeper cleaning of areas like finger nails and those hard to reach places that may otherwise be left to form blemishes and even some types of fungi.
3. Natural Sleep Aid : Lavender is known in the holistic world as a natural relaxer. For those that practice aromatherapy, lavender is a familiar and recommended oil to aid those who have sleep issues as well as ailments like the common cold, which require relaxation for recovery. This ability to help one relax creates lavender’s success as a wonderful skin detoxification agent. Lavender allows its user to relax, thereby helping the user clear the toxins associated with the stresses of everyday life. After using lavender, the user will have no choice but to understand the value of relaxation and the benefit is has on the skin and body.
