Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is known for its calming properties and its ability to lower the stress hormone cortisol. It’s also a great choice for skin problems and is one of my favorite smelling oils.
How we use it:
1. Sleep Well–rub a few drops on the bottom of your kids’ feet at night to help calm them down for bed and promote restful sleep. Use in the tub for a luxurious and relaxing bath or put in a diffuser at night to help the body relax.
2. Soothe Skin-–lavender is great for taking the sting out of minor burns (including sunburns) and to promote healing. Apply a drop or two to any kind of insect bite to relieve pain and reduce itching and swelling.
3. Diffuse It–this is a great oil to diffuse in times of stress or anxiety. Whether you have a big presentation at work, are afraid to fly or the kids are just making you crazy, breathing in lavender can help calm the nerves.
