Lavender is the MOST amazing essential oil! We hear of it in all kinds of things. Mostly when it is listed on a commerical product they can be saying it is the fragrance of Lavender, which for our purposes, is useless! So let's talk!
Lavender, for the purpose of protection this cold and flu season, is the heaviest hitter you can recruit! lavender barrame is the MOST theraputic version of all the Lavenders! When you search a Lavender be sure of 2 things; 1. the lavender you are choosing is of the Angustifolia variety. That is the botanical grouping! Lavender Angustifolia. That is the variety that packs the theraputic punch!
2. Make sure the Lavender you are choosing isn't added to something else. Be sure you get Pure Essential Oil!!
Lavender is sold EVERYWHERE these days and I am not a fan~ Wine is sold in boxes but we don't consider it a prize if we were hunting for an extravagant or elegant gift for a wine expert. This is much the same. Lavender is sold everywhere but not all Lavender is created equal.
Consider going to a lavender farm (online) "Liberity Natural" in Oregon is one of my favorites.
So, now that you have discovered a source for the good stuff, lavender angustifolia. What now? One drop at a time.... Here are some of the best ways to use Lavender and incoroprate it into your everyday life with very little effort!
1. When shopping, before you go in, put one drop into your palm and rub it on your neck. It acts like a litte army, the scent of Lavender means the molecules are in your nose killing invaders! Lavender is anti fungal, anti viral, anti bacterial and more! Lavender goes into your skin and collects any rengade invaders and sticks to them like taking a prisoner and flushes them out of your system through your kidneys. Good stuff, huh!
2. Becuase you put the lavender on your hands, your are protected from WHATEVER creepy crawly things live and thrive on shopping carts! Congrats!
3. Lavender is an adaptagen. Cool name, better meaning! An adaptegen reads your body needs and offers a stimulant when you need it and a calming effect when you need that! Awesome, stuff! The oil reads your needs and delivers!!
4. You can not overdose! The body only holds the oils for about 6 hours then all is disposed that isn't used! So feel free!
5. The scent activates the part of your brain that controls your heart so you are getting to "heart ofthe matter" everytime! There is no building up resistance to essential oils! They are effective EVERYTIME. You will never have to increase your dose.
5. At the end of the day, soak in a warm bath with 4 drops (for adults) of Lavender floating on the surface of your tub. Shut the shower curtain, and inhale deeply! Let the oil work for you as a decongestant, bacterial, viral,fungus killer. Relax your brain and body at the end of the day! 20 minutes is recommended! Regenerative sleep is easier to come by if you retire to your room already relaxed! So turn off the tv and draw a warm Lavender bath!
