Benefits of Pure Lavender Oil
Some of the benefits of pure lavender oil include support of both emotional and physical problems.
As one of the most calming oils for relaxation and anxiety, it has also been proven to help ease tired muscles, acne, minor wounds, eczema, insect bites, and menstrual cramping.
This oil is very beneficial to the respiratory system for coughs, congestion and flu symptoms. It makes breathing easier when lungs and sinuses are congested.
As a popular oil for use in massage therapy, it can help the mind and body relax, as well as help with pain of muscle tension and joint stiffness.
Respiratory relief is one of the greater known benefits of lavender, because it is very rich in esters (aromatic molecules) which are antispasmodic and have great therapeutic properties.
Other therapeutic benefits include:
In addition to lavender for massage, it is also used in bath water for relaxation and to promote deep breathing.
Lavender can also be mixed with an oil-free moisturizer and used on acne to reduce inflammation and scarring.
Mixed with a carrier oil, it can be used on minor burns to help assist in healing. After putting burn in cold water for 5-8 minutes, add a few drops of the oil to the burn for quicker healing.
For mosquito bites, apply lavender straight from the bottle. If you have swelling, apply a cold compress. Lavender can also help prevent infection in bite also. Repeat with the lavender as often as needed.
