Controlled origin True Lavender essential oil

Lavender oil ranks as one of the most popular essential oils and is best known for its relaxing properties – but also has a lot of other beneficial qualities. It can also be used to fight insomnia, anxiety, stress migraines and to just help with a good night’s sleep.

You probably already know that lavender has a calming effect, but did you know that it also promotes the healing of minor injuries? Its healing effect stems from its antiseptic properties. It helps treat wounds, burns, insect bites and cuts – all without irritating the skin! When lavender is diffused in the air, the analgesic effects of lavender essential oil help with persistent coughs.

Lavender essential oil can also be used in the treatment of skin problems like acne, eczema and other dermatological conditions. Its natural antiseptic properties mean it can be used safely on clothes to protect them from mites.
