Lavender Bulgaria (Lavandula latifolia)
The more I learn about essential oils the more I am amazed at the versatility of Lavender oil. Check 2008-10-22, 2008-10-16, and 2008-09-17 for other blog entries. As with most essential oils Lavender can be used alone or with other oils. Here is a recipe you can make yourself that is popular in Europe as a facial oil.
-
8 drops geranium oil
-
5 drops lavender oil
-
5 drops carrot seed oil
-
4 drops chamomile oil
-
2 drops sandalwood oil
-
1 drop patchouli oil
-
1/4 cup hazelnut oil (0r apricot kernal oil) as a carrier oil
Lavender oil can help to keep a burn from blistering. Just add 2 or 3 drops directly on the affected area. It’s great for sunburn too - mix one ounce of lavender oil with one ounce of aloe vera juice and apply to the burn.
Tired? Try dabbing your wrist or temples with lavender oil. It promotes calm and at the same time it revives.
Sore throat? Add one drop of lavender and one drop of sandalwood oils to 4 ounces of warm water and gargle.
