Properties
Aromatic properties
Lavender essential oil has a floral scent, but at the same time has a woody and grassy undertone, which is why it is well suited to complement men's fragrances when combined with essential oils of citrus, mint or coniferous plants. Its versatile aroma has made lavender a classic, widely used fragrance in perfumes, soaps, refreshments, and all kinds of beauty products.
Lavender essential oil is perfect for beginners and home users of aromatherapy.
Lavender essential oil is known for its soothing and hypnotic properties. It relieves stress and nervous tension, and helps with sleep problems. However, it should be kept in mind that in case of overuse, it can act on the contrary as a stimulant.
Healing properties
Suitable for healing small scratches and abrasions (diluted with carrier oils), as it is antibacterial and soothing, and this essential oil is considered safe enough to be used in children. Although lavender oil may be used undiluted, given the intensity of the essential oils and the high concentration of the active ingredients, lavender oil should also be used diluted as a precaution.
Lavender oil is often used to disperse and smooth out any imperfections in the skin. Also suitable for cleaning, soothing and relieving minor skin irritations and scratches. It is also suitable for soothing the skin after a long day in the sun.
Lavender oil slows down the aging process of the skin and therefore it is worth adding to the skin care products to a small extent.
Lavender also has a balancing effect on body and mind - it is recommended to add a few drops of oil to a warm bath water to wash away the stress accumulated during the day. You can also apply a few drops of oil on your temples or the back of your neck to relieve tension.
For a good night's sleep, it's a good idea to add a few drops of lavender oil to your bedding, or just on your pillow, or just apply it under your soles so that the oil can do its job and act as a natural relaxant.
