healing properties have become very popular around the world today for good reason,

Why is lavender aromatherapy so popular today? It is considered by many to be a
natural, alternative remedy for a variety of common ailments ranging from anxiety,
headaches, to insomnia. It has been shown in many research studies that lavender can
ease stress, induce relaxation, refresh, and even invigorate. For the skin, lavender oil is
often used to treat fungal infections, sooth wounds and sunburn, even insect bites. If
you haven't experienced the amazing effects of lavender yet, try it for yourself and see
what all the fuss is about! It's no wonder it is so widely used in today's skin creams, bath
products, hair products and perfumes. Lavender is the ultimate, multi-purpose flower
herb. You can even cook with it!

Not only is Lavender a beautiful and hardy plant to grow in the garden and use
throughout your landscape, there are so many uses for this fragrant flowering shrub! The
beautiful plant grows wild in France, Italy, Corsica, and Yugoslavia. Today, Lavender is
grown and harvested throughout the world. The use of lavender for healing can be
traced back to the Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans of ancient times. The Romans
regularly scented their bath water with lavender, in fact the Latin name Lavare means
"to wash." In England lavender is widely used lavender to scent drawers and clothing
and as a natural insect repellent. Moths and fleas do not like lavender!
Aromatherapy, simply stated, is the practice of using herbs, flowers, and essential oils
extracted from them for healing, relaxing, and balancing the mind, spirit and body. Smell
is one of our most powerful senses. What we smell can have a profound impact on
how we feel.
Lavender essential oil is extracted from the plant through steam distillation. The flowers,
leaves and stems are steamed, releasing the fragrant oils. Some common uses for
lavender essential oil are:
-To scent bath water, add a few drops to bath to enjoy the relaxing and soothing
aromas of this wonderful flower, and delicately scent the skin.
-To soothe skin irritations such as sunburn, insect bites, eczema, minor cuts and
scrapes, even for athletes foot. Pure lavender essential oil is one of the few essential oils
that can be applied undiluted directly to the skin a few drops at a time to soothe the skin
and promote healing. (while there are no noted side effects to lavender oil, it is possible
some people may have an allergic reaction to lavender oil.)
-To ease headache and tension, apply a few drops to your temples and rest quietly.
Lavender eye pillows are also helpful for this purpose.
Lavender is commonly prescribed by aromatherapists to help reduce stress, anxiety,
insomnia and mild depression. It is often referred to as a mood balancing herb that
possesses a sedative and calming effect. It can also have an uplifting, refreshing and
rejuvenating effect on the psyche. Lavender pillows, eye pillows, bath salts and floral
waters are a wonderfully easy way to enjoy the soothing effects of lavender
aromatherapy. All you have to do is relax, breathe in the scent, and enjoy! There is
nothing difficult or complicated about it. If you haven't experienced the wonderful
effects of the scent of lavender for yourself, get shopping! There really isn't anything like
the fresh, potent scent of lavender.
Lavender sachets will fill your drawers and closets with a fresh clean fragrance, (and
repel moths at the same time!) Use lavender as a natural air freshener instead of the
chemical filled products saturating the market today. Walk into your house after a long,
hard day and smell the fresh bowl of dried lavender buds on your coffee table. Kick off
your shoes, sit back and place a lavender eye pillow over your eyes. Pamper yourself
by sleeping with a lavender filled pillow. Our goal is to help you do just that-pamper
yourself with this wonderful gift from nature. Life is so short, enjoy every breath!
It is recommended that people using medications such as tranquilizers and pain killers
use caution with lavender to avoid extreme drowsiness. It has also been cautioned by
some that pregnant women, and cancer patients should not use lavender. However,
newer studies on lavender aromatherapy indicate that lavender can be soothing and
helpful to some cancer patients, and can relieve stress. There is a great need for more
research on the subject. In the meantime we can only use our own personal judgement.
While there are many pending studies on the effects of lavender, use of lavender for the
prevention or cure of disease has not been approved by the FDA or USDA. The products
