Lavender Uses

Lavender is one of the most versatile essential oils on the planet. Here I will give you just a few uses to inform you on the possibilities of this practical and angelic essence.

Dose:

Adults: 10-15 drops for acute symptoms

Children and Elderly: 2 -7 Drops for acute symptoms

*If you get an essential oil(EO) in your eyes DO NOT rinse with water. Water intensifies

the effects of the oils. DILUTE the EO with a nut or seed oil like Olive, Almond, or

Coconut. Apply the nut oil liberally around the eye and let it seep in allowing the

effects to diminish.*

Lavender!

Ear infection: Pour EO behind the ear and smooth it in towards the throat

allowing it to absorb into those lymph glands behind the ears and throat. Lavender has

a drying effect that helps sort out the mucus or fluids that can congregate in the ear

when infected. It is also highly anti-bacterial, fighting any infection. Itʼs soothing for the

nerves and gentle on the skin.

Treat 2x/day for up to 5 days.

Burns: Pour directly on a burn (or small cut) to drastically reduce pain, healing time

and prevent infection.

To create a spray to treat sunburn, Add 1-2 drops of Lavender to a spray bottle of water.

and apply liberally after sun exposure.

Stress Reduction: Probably the most well known of Lavenderʼs uses, simply smelling

the oil will take the edge of off your stressful day. Taking a deep breath in, can do

wonders. You can also put one drop on your heart to feel more at ease when ever you

need it .
