Have a look at the uses of Lavender oil in Aromatherapy

1. The relaxing qualities of lavender can help stop the recurrence of sleepless nights.

• Scent the bedroom with a diffuser or place sachets or cotton balls with lavender oil inside pillowcases, where they will release aromatherapy scent consistently through the night.
• Aromatherapy candles can help you relax, feel calm, energized and help your brain get into a more productive mindset. Lavender candles help ease your mind and relive stress.
• Make a cool or warm compress for the forehead by applying 3 to 5 drops of lavender to a damp cloth and lying down for 10 to 20 minutes.
•  Another good method is a well-known remedy. While on the go, massage a drop of lavender onto each temple. When there's time for a massage, combine lavender essential oil with unscented vegetable oil and rub into the forehead, neck, shoulders and back.

 2. Most headaches are caused by tension. Use lavender to banish headaches. 

·       Fill a glass spray bottle with 3 drops Lavender, 3 drops Wild Orange, 2 drops Roman Chamomile and witch hazel. Spray on linens before bedtime to promote restful sleep.

3. Lavender Lemonade: Mix all ingredients in a glass pitcher (or a BIG mason jar would be so cute!!) 1 cup raw honey, 12 cups water, Juice of 6 lemons, 1-2 drops Lavender essential oil. Adjust to taste.

4. Lavender has properties that relax as well as invigorate, making it useful in aromatherapy for calming excited nerves.

·     Some people find that lavender is more refreshing when inhaled at room temperature, but it can also be helpful when emanating from a light bulb diffuser.

·       Or breathe in the aroma from a lavender-scented tissue. Dab the oil on the wrist and the base of the throat as a therapeutic perfume.

·       Rub some along the scalp line and at the temples to carry the scent with you.

5. Rub a few drops of lavender oil between the palms and work into the hair for a subtle and lasting dose of aromatherapy throughout the day.
