LAVANDULA OFFICINALIS – Lavender, Croatia
This is, by far, the most versatile and useful oil. It is a must in your first aid kit, and I always carry a bottle in my purse. You know those days when every little thing irritates you and stress is high? Just take a little whiff right from the bottle. Visualize yourself peaceful and balanced; hold that energy for a few moments, and you will be there. It is wonderful for the skin, and gentle. It can be applied neat (do a skin test first) to bites and burns as it reduces inflammation and scaring. A few drops on your pillow will help you relax and go to sleep. It can be used this way with your children, and if you are a caretaker for elderly parents. This particular oil has an herbaceous fragrance with light camphor undertones. Very refreshing and uplifting, like a bright, sunny, spring day.
