A simple whiff of Lavender can trigger many sensations and its fragrance reminds most of us of rows and rows of blue-violet flowers under the summer sky. But what you may not know is that there is much more to Lavender than just its unique perfume. Lavandula (common name Lavender) is produced from a plant known as Lavandula Angustifolia, which is native to Mediterranean regions and northern Africa.

One of the most popular reasons people enjoy the benefits of Lavender, is its versatility and fragrance. As an essential oil, it can be added to bath and body care products like laundry detergents, household cleaners, perfumes and soaps. Lavender contains anti-microbial, antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Lavender is by far one of the most popular essential oils and can be:
- Used as a compress if a towel is soaked in a bowl of water that’s been infused with a few drops of Lavender. Apply it to strained muscle injuries or sprains.
- Vaporised or inhaled. Add a few drops of it to warm water and inhale the steam or use an oil burner, scent diffuser or candle.
- Massaged on your skin to help relief joint or muscle pains. Massaging it on skin also helps with treatment of skin conditions such as wounds, insect bites and burns. Be sure to dilute it with carrier oils like Jojoba and Sweet Almond Oil.
- Added to the shower or bath to help relieve stress and tension as well as aching muscles.
