The Many Uses of Lavender


Lavender is one of the most useful oils out there.  It can be used for almost anything.  Here is a list of ways to use it!  Let me know if you use it in any other ways, or if you try one of these and it doesn't work for you.  

1. Apply a drop with your finger to your sinuses (forehead and under your eyes) or along the inside of your cheek to promote healthy sinuses (especially during allergy season)
2. Add a drop to your tube of mascara to promote healthy lash growth and prevent clumping, also prolongs life of mascara
3. Whip 1/2 cup of coconut oil with 6 drops of Lavender for a nice relaxing body lotion, may also help with stretch marks 
4. Use the above mixture as a hair gel to  promote healthy, full hair growth 
5. Use the above mixture as a makeup remover; I also love using it as a foundation remover on my lips (acts as a chapstick too!)
6. Use the above mixture as a relaxing massage oil (or mix with olive oil instead)
6. Apply to pimples to promote cleansing and healing. (use with caution at first and dilute if your skin is sensitive)
7. Apply directly to bottom of your feet before bed to promote relaxation
8. Place a drop on temples, back of neck, and/or behind ears to ease head and neck tension 
9. Apply directly to minor burns (like sunburns) to promote healing and soothing
10. Apply directly to minor scrapes and cups to promote healing and soothing
11. May be dabbed on insect bites to soothe and relief itching
12. (Still need to try this one: Apply one drop diluted to the bridge of the nose and on the bone surrounding the eye (being VERY CAREFUL to avoid the eye) to support healthy eye function and ease discomfort from clogged tear ducts, pink eye or styes. -source)
13.  Place drops on a wool dryer ball for fresh relaxing laundry
14. Place along throat to ease that sore throat
