Lavender Essential Oil In Soap and Salves!




   I have been doing some study on lavender essential oil and would like to share some of what I have learned with you.
 
    Lavender has been found to help with a significant amount of ailments of which I will name a few.  Of course everyone knows that it has an absolutely lovely scent and is very soothing and calming.  What you may not know however,  is that Lavender essential oil can help relax tense nerves, anxiety, depression, and nervous exhaustion!  For anyone who has had a stressful day or has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, a few drops of lavender essential oil on a pillow or cotton ball will bring rest and induce sleep.  After a day of hard work, Lavender essential oil rubbed into the muscle will relieve the pain of tired sore muscles.

 
   Lavender essential oil is known to help with bacterial and viral infection.  Upper respiratory infections are eased when the oil is put into a vaporizer or applied directly to the skin.  It is one of the two essential oils that can be applied in this way. To be sure there is not an allergic reaction to lavender, put a drop of diluted oil on the wrist.  If the area turns red and itches, apply olive oil or coconut oil to the affected area. (Most importantly, do not wash it off with water, as water could trap the oil and make it much worse.)  Lavender can help with immunity if dabbed on your pulse points regularly.
   
   After getting a serious burn, one man put lavender oil on his hand and the pain went almost immediately away and his skin healed back to normal at a rapid pace.

  Lavender essential oil in our soap has made it one of our most popular soaps because of how it has helped numerous people. Benefits of lavender essential oil for skin care can be attributed to its antiseptic and anti fungal properties.  Washing with lavender soap can help with acne, psoriasis and other inflammations.  It also aids the healing process.  Cuts, burns, or sun burn can heal quickly when lavender soap is used on them.   

  The salves that we sell, contain lavender essential oil along with so many other good ingredients that help to heal the skin and relieve sore muscles. 

 Treat yourself today with some of our lavender goat milk soap along with some newer products which also have lavender essential oil in them!
