The Benefits Of Lavender Oil
Most of you have experienced the soothing quality of Lavender during my Acupuncture treatments. Some of you have even asked about the oil and purchased a bottle for yourself. Lavender is one of my favorite essential oils for many reasons. Not only does it have calming and relaxing qualities, but there are so many other uses!
Having tried numerous brands of oils, I’ve discovered the dōTERRA difference in quality. dōTERRA uses 100% Therapeutic grade oil, which is undiluted and pure. If you look closely at the labels, many drug-store brand essential oils are diluted with coconut oil, palm oil and other fillers. In fact, there may only be a COUPLE drops of what professionals call, PURE Therapeutic grade oil.
dōTERRA’s oils are 100% Therapeutic grade! This means dōTERRA brands are numerous times more potent in their healing properties. dōTERRA oils can also stay on shelves longer without going rancid.
Here are a couple of fun usages with Lavender oil that you can do yourself at home:
- Apply to the bottom of feet or on a pillow before sleeping.
- Use to calm reactions to bee stings or bug bites.
- Use with bath salts for a relaxing spa bathing experience.
- Apply to wrists or inhale when traveling to ease motion upset. Ask me the appropriate acupuncture points to use!
- Lightly apply to soothe sunburned or scalded skin.
- Apply to back, hands, or feet of a restless or agitated child.
- Use to calm and soothe diaper rash.
- Calm sensitive skin and soothe pores after hair removal.
Lavender is such a useful oil to have on-hand and around the house! I keep a couple bottles at my office if you'd like to purchase one at your next Acupuncture appointment.
