English Lavender essential oil is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aroma compounds distilled from the lavender plant. Lavender has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, from minor wounds, bruises and burns to chronic conditions such as rheumatism, asthma and dermatitis.
This essential oil, like most others, is usually used diluted with base or carrier oils such as sweet almond, grape, jojoba, avocado and others. When bathing, simply add a few drops to the bath water. Use this oil for a pleasant fragrance, with an aromatherapy lotion or diffuser. It is often used in aromatherapy to combat depression, stress and fatigue. Always consult a professional before using lavender essential oil for health purposes.
Professional Essential Oils are available in specialised packs designed mainly for aromatherapists, or for users who use them in larger quantities.
