Lavender Oil has fabulous relaxing qualities so use at the end of the day and it will help you drift off to sleep! You could also use it in bath water, or put into a spritzer and spray on your bed linen.
ReplyDeleteOverall, the effects of essential oils may be divided into two basic groups. Some essential oils have actual physical effects. For example, eucalyptus oil can be inhaled to help clear sinuses and the respiratory tract. This would obviously relieve some symptoms of an upper respiratory infection (URI). Some oils may be used topically (directly on the skin, where they would usually be absorbed by the body, or on a wound) to possibly relieve swelling or fight certain infections.
ReplyDeleteInhaling lavender oil straight is just fine. When I have a headache I rub some of the essential oil onto my wrists and inhale frequently. I don't dilute it at all.

ReplyDeleteEssential oils are used for massage, relaxation, burning (to smell nice), hair, skin and many other things. You can purchase the widest range of the internet but your local health shop will probably sell a few. But don't forget to purchase a base oil which you mix with a few drops of essential oil if it is used directly to skin. Otherwise it will be irritated, always follow instructions.
ReplyDeleteTake a couple of clean, fresh sprigs of any herb that you're using and put it inside a bottle. Fill the bottle with extra virgin olive oil (or whatever oil you might prefer). Cap it and let it sit on your counter for a week or two.
