We will be featuring an oil each day this month--31 Essential Oils in 31 Days!
OUR FIRST OIL OF 2015: LAVENDER!
If I had to choose just
one essential oil to always have around it would be, hands down,
lavender.
Lavender (Lavandula
angustifolia) has one of the best fragrances on the planet: floral, sweet, and
fresh. It is evocative of just-mowed fields and lingering flowers. Many of us
keep a small bottle in our purse or pocket to take to work for an invigorating whiff
when our energy drags. Ah, what a difference this makes in a long or trying
day!
Lavender is both
uplifting and relaxing. Whatever your need, it delivers. That is because
Lavender is an adaptogen, a unique natural substance that builds your resistance
to the stresses of life and supports the health of your adrenal system.
So if you are feeling nervous or stressed, lavender relaxes. It helps you wind down at the end of a
stressful day and is known to help promote a good night's sleep. Additionally, it can also help lift you
out of sadness.
100% pure, therapeutic
lavender oil is also a great beautifier of the skin. Lots of women love to mix
several drops with coconut or olive oil and smooth it over their face and neck
every morning. The wonderful smell is enough to make you smile as you start
your day!
Another great use of
lavender is for cleaning. Essential
lavender oil is fabulous in an essential oil diffuser to create a peaceful atmosphere in the
home. You can even use doTerra's therapeutic high quality grade lavender oil in your recipes to enhance the flavor of baked
goods and other foods.
