nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect the scalp and skin, enhance blood
circulation and treat respiratory problems. The Latin name of lavender is Lavare,
which means “to wash”, due to its aroma which has a particularly clean aroma.
Benefits
of Lavender Essential Oil
Sleep:
Lavender Essential Oil induces sleep which has made it a common recommendation
for an alternative treatment of insomnia. Frequent studies on elderly patients
have shown an increase in their sleep regularity when their normal
sleep medication is replaced with some lavender essential oil being placed on
their pillows.
Calming: Lavender
Essential oil has a calming scent which makes it an excellent tonic for the
nerves and anxiety issues. The refreshing aroma removes nervous
exhaustion and restlessness while also increasing mental activity.
Acne: According to dermatologists and
aromatherapists, Lavender Essential Oil is one of the most beneficial oils in
the treatment of acne. Lavender essential oil inhibits the
bacteria that cause the initial infection and can reduce the signs of scarring
after the acne has begun to heal. Adding a small amount of lavender essential
oil to other skin creams or ointments can greatly increase the potential for
relief and healing.
Pain relief:
Lavender essential oil is known as an excellent remedy for various types of
pains including those caused by sore and tense muscles, muscular aches,
rheumatism, sprains, backache and lumbago. A regular massage with lavender oil can also provide relief from pain in
the joints.
General Skin care:
The health benefits of lavender oil for the skin can be attributed to its
antiseptic and antifungal properties. It is used to treat various skin
disorders such as acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions.
It is commonly used to speed up the healing process of wounds, cuts, burns, and sunburns because it improves the formation of scar tissues.
Lavender oil is also added to chamomile to treat eczema.
Hair care: Lavender essential oil is useful
for hair care because it has been shown to be very effective on lice, lice eggs, and nits. Furthermore, lavender essential oil has also been
shown to be very helpful in the treatment of hair loss, particularly for patients who suffer
from alopecia, an autoimmune disease where the body rejects its
own hair follicles. A Sottish study reported that more than 40% of alopecia
patients in the study reported an increase in hair growth when they regularly rubbed lavender
essential oil into their scalp. Therefore, lavender oil is sometimes
recommended as a preventative measure for male pattern baldness!
Bug Repellent: The smell of Lavender Essential oil is potent for many types of bugs like mosquitoes, midges, and moths. Apply some of the lavender oil on the exposed skin when outside to prevent these irritating bites. Furthermore, if you do happen to be bitten by one of those bugs, the lavender essential oil has anti-inflammatory qualities that will reduce the irritation and the pain associated with bug bites
