~ MANY BENEFITS OF LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL ~

HERE ARE 10 USEFUL TIPS!

LAVENDER PILLOW SPRAY: "I use a small glass spray bottle to make an amazing Lavender Pillow Spray. (The recipe is One to Two drops of Lavender Essential Oil in a glass spray bottle (6-12 oz) filled with distilled water.) This is great if you are traveling to spray on your hotel room bed sheets; Not only will it help you relax and sleep better, but it will help kill any unwanted germs! All Young Living Essential Oils are antibacterial and anti-viral. I also spray it all over my kids bed pillows at night to help them sleep."

LAVENDER BEAUTY TIP: " First mix 4 drops of Lavender Essential Oil in a bowl with 2 cups organic sea salts. Use that first to exfoliate your skin anywhere you would like! Then rinse off in the shower and follow up with aloe. (If you want to get Lavender Crazy you can even mix one drop of Lavender Essential Oil in with one cup of pure aloe. You can purchase an aloe plant at any health food store (filet the leaf like a fish and scoop out the aloe gel) or use the purest aloe in a bottle you can find. (no perfume or dyes please)"

ALLERGY RELIEF USING LAVENDER: "During allergy season everyone in my house uses Lavender. It is a natural antihistamine that works fast with no side effects! My husband simply puts one drop of lavender in his hands and rubs his sinuses under his eyes. I give my eight year old a teaspoon of organic raw local honey with one drop of Young Living Lavender Essential oil to take internally 3 times per day until her symptoms subside. My 12 year old uses the same recipe, but prefers to take in a vegetable capsule. I put one drop of Lavender in my favorite fresh squeezed juice or Ningxia Red. That is how we roll during allergy season! Also, it can’t hurt to diffuse Lavender in your bedroom while you are sleeping!"

LAVENDER LEMONADE RECIPE: "This is refreshing, improves your immune system and is super delicious. (7 lemons juiced, 2 limes juiced, ONE drop of Lavender Young Living Essential Oil, 14 cups water, 1-1/2 cup blue agave or your favorite sweetener like brown raw sugar to taste.) Mix all the ingredients together and chill. YUMMY!"

BURNS, CUTS AND INSECT BITES: "I cooked my way through college and I am no stranger to burns. When I would get a burn at work I would ice it; however, it would take a few hours before I could get to a doctor, fill the prescription and put the burn cream on the burn! I have to tell you that I keep a bottle of Lavender in my kitchen today! As soon as I get a burn I apply Lavender continuously until it stops hurting. I am still amazed to this day that since using Lavender on my burns I have never gotten a scar or a blister! Not only does it reduce scarring but it helps with the pain also! Lavender has often been called “The Swiss Army Knife of Essential Oils!” and it is true! Apply 2-3 drops on any insect bite, boo boo or burn."

SKIN IRRITATIONS, RASHES, ECZEMA AND DERMATITIS: Mix 3 drops of Lavender with 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil and apply over the irritated area. Re-apply a few times a day, every day and you will see results.

NATURAL BODY POWDER DEODORANT: " Mix 1/2 cup Arrowroot Powder, 1/2 cup Cornstarch and 5 drops of Lavender Oil in a bowl. Place in a air tight glass container. I clean out my old spice shakers and use them because it even comes with the plastic shaker stopper at the top! It’s a great organic, all natural deodorant for your body! Improve your health by staying away from toxic chemicals found in many deodorants such as parabens."

MENSTRUAL CRAMPS: "You can apply a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil and mix it with a tablespoon of organic grape seed or olive oil. Rub all over your chest and belly. This will help you with cramps. This also works for headaches; simply apply to your temples!"

ANXIETY, ADHD, AUTISM, STRESS: " Placing a few drops on the base of the neck and inhaling every 4 hours not only reduces stress, but has been shown to help people who suffer from anxiety, ADHD and Autism. Young Living also has many products that are infused with Lavender Essential Oil, such as the Lavender Foaming Hand Soap, The Lavender Body Wash, Lavender Hand & Body Lotion, and Lavender Lip Balm. I absolutely love the entire Lavender line from Young Living. However, I am mentioning these products for a more important reason, because if a child suffers from any of these symptoms this is a creative and easy way to get the lavender in the cells of the body to alleviate symptoms."

SLEEP ESSENCE: "Do you or someone you know suffer from insomnia? Simply rub lavender on your feet before bed and consider looking into Sleep Essence. This is one of the best nutritional supplements that Young Living makes. Sleep Essence is infused with a blend of Essential Oils including Lavender and also has 3.2 mg of Melatonin that is a natural sleep aid. You can take 1 to 2 soft gels 30-60 minutes before bedtime!"

DIFFUSING LAVENDER: " Inhaling lavender while you sleep will help you breath and sleep better! There are many diffusers on the market that you can purchase. Just make sure that they do not produce any heat. Heat will destroy the healing compounds found in Young Living Essential Oils. Young Livings Home Diffuser is my favorite for the bedroom and the Aria for any room."

PLEASE NOTE: Not all Lavender is the same. So if you are NOT using Young Living Products PLEASE read the label. If the Essential Oil bottle does not have an FDA approved food label or say “safe for internal ingestion” DO NOT USE IT FOR ANY OF THE WAYS  LISTED IN THIS  REPORT! Young Living has a saying… “If you can not drink it, don’t put it on your body!”
