Lavender Oil Benefits
The lavender plant (Lavendula) is a genus of 47 known species of flowering plants in the mint family and is unequivocally the most well-known and popular essential oil in aromatherapy. Egyptians used lavender extensively for bathing, cooking purposes, and perfumery. In fact, when King Tut’s tomb was opened, traces of lavender were reportedly found and could still be detected in the air some 3,000 years after being sealed.
The scent of lavender is floral, fresh, sweet, herbaceous, and slightly fruity; depending on the oil, it may also be somewhat camphorous. Though it can be mixed with many other oils, its soothing scent blends exceptionally well with peppermint, sweet orange, lemongrass, bergamot, frankincense, patchouli, and vetiver.
The three main lavender species used to make this essential oil are Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula latifolia, and Lavandula x intermedia. However, Lavandula angustifolia is by far the most commonly used in aromatherapy.

Lavender Essential Oil's Therapeutic Properties
Because of its potent antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, wound healing, sedative, and calming properties, this oil has been used in various cosmetic and medicinal applications for centuries.
As a highly versatile oil, it is known, among other things, to promote relaxation and relieve symptoms of anxiety, allergies, depression, insomnia, nausea, and menstrual cramps. It is also known for its powerful antioxidant properties and ability to stimulate glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) production, all of which bolster the body's defences against free radicals.
Using Essential Oils
When shopping for a quality lavender oil, choose one that is 100% pure, certified organic, non-GMO, and free of additives and synthetic fragrances. To preserve the oil for as long as possible, you should also opt for one offered in a dark or amber-coloured glass bottle to protect it from the impact of light and oxidation.
Lavender essential oil can be used via inhalation, spritzed into the air or on bedding to promote relaxation and a Zen mood, diluted in a carrier oil, and applied to the skin. Please note that only food-grade lavender oil or lavender petals can be used in the kitchen; therefore, do not use aromatherapy oils to ingest.
