So there you go that's just 55 of the ways you can use Lavender essential oil. I almost use it daily.

Lavender has a lovely emotional meaning also, Lavender is the oil of communication, Lavender encourages emotional honesty and insist's that one speak their innermost thoughts and desires. Someone in need of lavender may feel it is not safe to express themselves. Through Lavenders courageous spirit, one is free to share their True Self with others.

The easiest way to use your oils is to put them on the bottom of your feet or diluted with fractionated coconut oil over the area. You can diffuse into the air or just breathe it in out of the bottle. But please make sure you are using a natural chemical free essential oil if you are putting them on your skin, especially if using on babies (make sure it is diluted 1 drop of lavender to 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil for babies or small children) or even in your bath water, which is a great way to use lavender for relaxing.

I use doTERRA - Lavender oil. If you would like to try some for yourself, or if you know someone who might need this lovely oil in their life please contact me I would love to help.

Have you used Lavender oil before? If you have, what did you use it for?
