A few months ago I made a post about the Neal's yard bath salts. Since using them I've discovered the amazing benefits of lavender essential oil. It's really widespread and you can get a bottle at almost any health shop. But be cautious to make sure it's the 100% pure oil, it lasts longer and is far better for you. On average it costs round about the figure of £5 but it of course varies.
The great thing about essential oil is that it has all the healing and relaxation properties. But it can be used in such a vast range of ways. You can add several drops to warm bath water for a full relaxation detox or massage it in to an aching body part. A few drops of oil can be added to a facial steamer to revive a blocked nose or again for the calming benefits. When I am really under pressure and unsettled I like to put a sprinkle of oil on my bed pillow before I'm about to go to sleep. It helps me really relax and fall a asleep despite whatever nerve-racking experiences are in store for me the next day.
I've been doing some further research on more alternative benefits of lavender oil. Interestingly I found that it has some antiseptic and anti-inflamitory properties which can be used to relieve things like bug bites. Research also indicated that lavender has the ability to settle nausea, headaches and upset stomachs. Of course I can't take responsibility for any of these "claims" or however people choose to take this information. But for me lavender oil works incredibly well as a natural remedy! And I would urge anyone to pop down to boots and get their hands on bottle.
