Lavender, or Lavandula angustifolia, is a gentle oil that’s been traditionally used to heal bruises, cuts and skin irritations, as well as to calm stress and enhance relaxation. The medicinal qualities of lavender were first discovered by the French scientist, René Gattefossé, when he used the oil to help heal a severe burn that he suffered from an explosion in the lab. This highly versatile oil can also be used to help stimulate and energize.

Beyond those applications previously mentioned, additional uses for lavender essential oil include supporting the body’s natural defenses against acne, allergies, sprains, vertigo, bronchitis, asthma, arthritis, earache, headache, athlete’s foot, burns, bruises, chicken pox, colds, flu, sore throat, flatulence, stomach ache, indigestion, diarrhea, colic, cuts, wounds, cystitis, dermatitis, herpes, dysmenorrhea, hypertension, insect bites, insect repellant, insomnia, labor pains, muscle pain, itching, migraine, nausea, oily skin, rheumatism, scabies, psoriasis, scars, sores, stretch marks, and whooping cough. When it comes to the mind, the oil can mentally ground the user, making them feel balanced and relaxed. It also calms frustration and anger, which is helpful when easing stress or anxiety.
