The various health benefits of lavender essential oil include:
Nervous System: Lavender essential oil has a calming scent which makes it an excellent tonic for the nerves. Therefore, it helps in treating migraines, headaches, anxiety, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. The refreshing aroma removes nervous exhaustion and restlessness and increases mental activity.
Sleep: Lavender essential oil induces sleep and hence it is often recommended for insomnia.
Lavender essential oil is available at Whole Foods among many other places and can be used in a linen spray on your pillow case for a sleep aid, in a warm bath to relax you and soften skin, in an oil diffuser or a candle (just make sure the candle contains actual essential oil) for general relaxation or you can pull out your bottle of lavender oil and take a few deep inhales for a quick calming effect. Lavender has many benefits and during this often crazy holiday season it is a great stress reliever!
