Lavender essential oil calms little minds and bodies

💜 Lavender is good for so many things. You can add a few drops to some distilled water in a spritzer bottle and spray it around the home or classroom. ⁠ ⁠

💜 You can drop a few drops onto a mosquito bite to soothe the sting ⁠ ⁠

💜 Spray it around the car before a trip to have a nice, calm ride⁠ ⁠

💜 Mix it into homemade Playdoh for a fantastic playtime⁠ ⁠

💜 Massage it into tired shoulders and have some quiet, sweet bonding time with your child⁠ ⁠

💜 Lavender reduces anxiety and helps children sleep better too.. spray some around the bedroom before sleepytime. ⁠ ⁠

It’s also good for:⁠ ⁠ Acne⁠ Eczema⁠ fungal infections⁠ ⁠ And according to the Sleep Dr ⁠ “Lavender works as an anxiolytic (anxiety reliever) and as a sedative, to increase relaxation and calm, and help bring about sleep. Lavender interacts with the neurotransmitter GABA to help quiet the brain and nervous system activity, reducing agitation, anger, aggression, and restlessness”. ⁠ ⁠ Nice! ⁠ ⁠

My cabinet is FILLED with essential oils.⁠ I love the fact that essential oils are NATURAL and can be used for such a variety of things. Our Mother Earth can meet our needs in natural ways without the toxicity and chemicals of so many of the products used today. I believe that traditional, natural medicine along with allopathic medicines can work in harmony, but I always use natural as much as possible. I always go to essential oils and plants FIRST, before resorting to other things. Lavender oil is just one example.

Do you use essential oils at home?
