As it promotes relaxation, lavender oil has the capacity to treat insomnia and even menstrual cramps. Furthermore, there are studies which have shown its potential to treat anxiety and depression.
This essential oil also has the ability to take care of eczema and other skin-related conditions as it is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and possesses detoxifying qualities.
How to apply
There is no specific formula, nor dosage allowance for lavender oils. Popular approaches include sprinkling a few drops of the oil onto a cloth, or add a few drops into an aromatherapy diffuser or vaporizer. You can also mix this oil with other oils (such as almond or jojoba) and massage onto skin or add to your bath.
