I was thinking today about what I thought might be the most recognized essential oil.  Lavender was the top pick for me.  It seems like it is in everything from perfume, bath products, laundry products and even cleaners.  It is amazing how much people like the smell of lavender.  Truth is I like it, too. So I thought I would share some information about lavender that I found in some of my oil books.

Lavender is well known by many people more for its smell and not it’s healing properties.  But the most common use for it is burns.  Rene’ Gattafosse, father of aromatherapy, suffered sever burns over most of his body and was healed by using Lavender.  His second and third degree burns healed without scaring.  Amazing!

It is also great for abscesses, acne, allergies, athletes foot, boils, bruises, dandruff, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, sores of all kinds, sunburns, insect bites and stings.  In addition, it helps to repel lice, helps with colic, irritable bowel, menstrual pain, muscular stiffness, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia.  Those are just a few things that it helps with Physically.

Mentally it calms and stabilizes the mind and heart.  By easing nervous tension, worry, panic attacks, hysteria, headaches, depression, hypertension, insomnia, and migraines.  Lavender encourages feelings of security, gentleness, compassion, acceptance , inner peace and emotinal balance.

Lavender is known as the “Universal Healing Oil”.
