The lavender plant has been used for centuries to heal a range of ailments, including bruises, burns and minor cuts, as well as chronic diseases such as rheumatism and asthma. Steam distilled from the plant into a concentrated liquid, lavender is one of the most versatile essential oils and is renowned by the perfume industry for its fresh, sweet and slightly fruity aroma. Lavender oil is also used to promote relaxation and can help to combat depression, anxieties, insomnia, nausea, stress, menstrual cramps and fatigue.
For a relaxing and soothing bath, simply add a few drops in your bath water.
