Oil of the Week ::: Lavender

Lavender flowers harvested from the hills of  France
The purest and most advantageous lavender essential oil is harvested and steam-distilled from lavender flowers in the hill country of France.

It has a light & powdery floral scent and has been used for millennia as a tonic and wellness support. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume.

Due to Lavender’s versatile properties, it is considered the must-have oil to have on hand at
all times. We certainly do ~ in the kitchen, in the cupboard, in the beauty cabinet!

USES 
• Take internally to reduce anxious feelings.*
• Keep a bottle of Lavender on hand to soothe occasional skin irritations. 
• Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet for a restful night's sleep. 
• Lavender & water in a spray bottle can freshen your closets, bedding, and car.
• Use in cooking to soften citrus flavors and add a flavorful twist to marinades, baked goods, and
   desserts. Mmmm! Lavender-Blueberry muffins (I sense a Foodie Friday coming on!)*

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice. 
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.*
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area.


* Ensure the lavender oil you use is SAFE FOR INTERNAL USE! Check for a Supplement Facts Label
   on the bottle.
