LAVENDER FOR THE EMOTIONS AND SPIRIT
Lavender essential oil is a natural relaxant and is used universally for its calming effects. It is an antidepressant and is used to calm a stressed spirit, anxiety, and hysteria. It is wonderful for inducing a restful sleep. A drop on the pillowcase, in the bath, or in a synergy massaged into the soles of the feet and hands (See Vespers Oil) leads to a peaceful night and waking up with less muscle tenseness that lasts throughout the day. Children love a nightly foot rub or bath that includes lavender.

LAVENDER FOR PHYSICAL HEALING
Lavender essential oil is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and pain reliever. It promotes healing and prevents scarring by stimulating the immune system and cellular regeneration. In addition to treating burns and sunburns, lavender essential oil is useful for relief of arthritis, rheumatism, and general muscle aches and pains. Used on the temples or dispersed in the air, it is helpful for headaches, including some migraine pain. Colds and laryngitis respond to lavender. Inhale directly, diffuse in the air, or gargle with a drop in lemon and honey water.
St. Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th century herbalist, wrote this about lavender: “(It is) especially good for all forms of headache and migraine, as a restorative and tonic against weakness, spasms, giddiness, colic and vertigo. It causes melancholy to go away and raises the spirits. A drop or two in a glass of water is a good gargle to hoarseness and loss of voice.”
Use a drop of lavender along with one of chamomile in three tablespoons of almond oil to make a baby massage oil to heal dry and rough skin, and promote calm.

LAVENDER FOR SKIN CARE
Lavender is antibacterial and is often used in formulations for acne and irritated skin. Its cell regeneration properties encourage healing processes to advance more quickly. Lavender helps eczema, psoriasis, itching, soreness, and irritation. Add a few drops to appropriate carrier oil, cream, or lotion to soothe and promote healing. A drop added to a cup of water can be used for cleansing wounds, acne, bruises, bites, irritations, rashes, or scaly patches. Several drops in bath water can soothe overworked muscles and stiffness. Use a drop on a wet facecloth to wipe your face and neck for a refreshing lift.
