Relieve stress. Rubbing a bit of lavender essential oil on your temples will help alleviate tension and stress. You can even crush up a bit of fresh lavender between your fingers and use it the same way. Since stress is a contributing factor to many other health concerns, using lavender to relieve stress is a natural way to improve overall health.
Sleep better naturally. Lavender is a natural remedy for better sleep in several ways. Boil lavender flowers to make a tea. Lavender tea works just as well as chamomile tea to relax the body and help you sleep better. Place a vase of fresh lavender flowers in the bedroom to fill the room with the relaxing scent of lavender. Fresh flowers can also be put in a small pillow to help you sleep better and relax away the stress of the day.
Smell good. For hundreds of years lavender oil has been used as a natural perfume. It smells wonderful and the aromatherapy will help you relieve stress throughout the day. Dabbing lavender essential oil on your neck and wrists has a pleasing scent and no harmful chemicals. Which is a great natural health benefit of using lavender instead of harmful chemical perfumes. You can also add fresh lavender flowers or essential oil to a hot bath to ease away tension and leave an overall pleasing aroma to your skin.
Get rid of dandruff and irritated skin. Boil lavender just as you would for a tea. Once it is cooled, use it as a daily rinse in your hair until dandruff is cleared up. It will also leave a relaxing, pleasing scent to your hair. For skin irritation, put lavender in a spray bottle and spray the problem areas liberally, several times a day. It is an excellent alternative with natural health benefits without all the chemicals.
Clean a minor wound. Lavender oil has long been used as an antiseptic for cleaning minor cuts and scrapes, much the same way rubbing alcohol is used. It is a great alternative for children because it does not have the sting of rubbing alcohol. Also the scent is relaxing and can aid in taking away the tension of those minor cuts and scrapes.
