Q. What is the most popular essential oil?

A. Lavender essential oil is the world’s favorite essential oil. That’s probably because of its fresh, sweet, floral aroma and amazing versatility. Lavender oil is tremendously useful and goes well with just about every other oil.

Lavender Essential Oil’s Health Benefits and Uses

Because lavender oil is so useful, no home should be without it. The reason lavender is so useful is because it is an adaptogen. That means it can assist your body when adapting to stress or imbalances. Its a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime (smooth it on your temples, spritz it on your pillow and sheets).

But lavender can also give you energy! Even though lavender essential oil is calming and great for winding down, it can also boost stamina and energy.

It can also be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises and especially skin irritations.

Top Natural Burn Remedy

Lavender essential oil is perhaps best known as a remedy for burns. This quality of lavender oil was first discovered by the French scientist, Rene Gattefosse. One day, and accidental laboratory explosion severely burned Dr. Gattefosse’s hand. Dr. Gattefosse quickly dipped his burning hand into a vat of lavender oil, thinking it was a vat of water. He was surprised to discover that the lavender essential oil soothed the pain and helped the burn heal faster than anything he had experienced before.

Women Love Lavender Essential Oil For Their Complexions

Therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil is highly regarded as a skin and beauty aid and was used in on complexions as far back as ancient Egypt. A few drops smoothed on the cheeks, nose, forehead and around the eyes does wonders to keep the skin looking young and supple.

I especially love Essential Beauty Serum for Dry Skin on my complexion – with lavender, cedarwood and several other oils and botanicals. Not only does it smell heavenly, but its so nurturing and moisturizering, I find I don’t need any additional moisturizer.

Lavender essential oil is so naturally beneficial for the skin, complexion and body that it makes sense to use it in skin care products of all types. Have you heard about the Lavender Signature Series? It features a collection of all-natural personal care products infused with pure, therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil.

Each product in the Lavender Signature Series is made from all-natural and eco-friendly ingredients and lavender essential oil. The Lavender Hand & Body Lotion and Lavender Bath & Shower Gel also use a unique plant-based preservative system that’s completely natural and free of synthetic components that can irritate sensitive skin.

Here’s what you’ll find in the the Lavender Signature Series:

• Lavender Hand & Body Lotion
• Lavender Bath & Shower Gel
• Lavender Lip Balm
• LavaDerm Cooling Mist
• Lavender-Rosewood Bar Soap

Along with adding lavender essential oil to each product in this collection, great care has been taken to create all-natural and eco-friendly formulations by ensuring that every ingredient used comes from sustainable sources.

It goes without saying that the inexpensive drug store variety of lavender essential oil (even most health food store varieties) are not of high enough quality to have therapeutic effects. Only therapeutic-grade, high-quality lavender essential oil can help heal burns and soothe stressed minds. There is a huge difference between low-grade essential oils and therapeutic-grade. Inexpensive varieties have no therapeutic benefits, contain chemical solvents and additives and are artificially scented. Although therapeutic-grade essential oils are considerably more expensive, they are well worth the money.

If you haven’t tried lavender essential oil yet, perhaps it’s time to give it a try. If you have, perhaps it’s time to move up to higher-quality, therapeutic-grade lavender oil. You’ll be glad you did!
