Use of Lavender in Aromatherapy

Lavender oil has been used as a household remedy for centuries and its various applications have been tried and tested over time. The oil is celebrated by aromatherapists for its analgesic (pain reducing), antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. It is a cell proliferant (aids in cell reproduction) and assists healing skin to regenerate faster with minimal scarring. It is a very safe oil which can be used easily for first-aid purposes such as to treat minor burns, dress abrasions, bites, stings and splits on fingers or lips.

It is described by aromatherapists as a "balancing oil" - one that exerts a calming effect at low dosage and an energizing effect in higher doses. Lavender finds uses in relieving migraine, insomnia, asthma, eczema, nausea, respiratory disorders, muscular pains and children’s illnesses. Its classic floral fragrance lifts spirits and its soothing anti-depressant properties are ideally suited to today’s stressful climate.
