Lavender Essential Oil
(Lavandula Angustafolia)
Lavandula angustafolia, or what is known as “True Lavender,” is different from other lavender oils because it is entirely free of camphor, so it gives a softer, rounder, sweeter smell than those containing camphor. This wonderful oil is: antispasmotic, hypotensive, nervine, sedative, diuretic, bacterial, analgesic, anti-depressant. It is good for:
- Asthma
- Burns
- Headaches (& migraines)
- Hypertension
- Indigestion
- Insect bites
- Sedation (anxiety, aggitation or insomnia)
- Sinus Congestion (not with hay fever)
- Anti-bacterial
- Pain Management/Stress Management
Note: Direct contact with the skin is not recommended; Inhalation is the safest usage. However I support dermal application if properly diluted in a high quality carrier oil specic for the application – FREE consultation.
