All About Lavender

For the past two weeks I had a poll asking all of you what your favorite oil is. The contestants were Lavender, Peppermint, Tea Tree and Lemon essential oils. And the winner is.........Lavender! Probably because it by far one of the most versatile oils of them all. So, in honor of Lavender winning the favorite oil contest I am going to share with you some of my absolute favorite ways to use Lavender.

1. Put a 2 drops on a cotton ball and place in your pillow case to help you sleep at night.

2. Put 2-3 drops on a minor burn to decrease pain

3. Rub 2-4 drops over armpit area as deodorant. (personal favorite of mine when I forget to put deodorant on!)

4. Place a few drops on a cotton ball and put in your linen closet to scent the linens and repel moths and insects. 

5. Place a few drops on a wet cloth and throw into the dryer. Your clothes will smell WONDERFUL!

6. Apply 2-3 drops to a rash to stop the itching and heal the skin. 

7. Put a drop of Lavender on a cold sore
