Some Uses of Lavender Essentil Oil

 

Hello and I hope you're having a good day. I have

recently become and IPC for doTerra Essential Oils.

It will be a continual learning process for me

as the oils and uses are many and there is

SO MUCH information!

But anyone can learn how to use these effectively

for themselves and then can share the information

with family and friends.

 

I believe they offer my family

a choice for healthier living.

 

Today I want to share with you a few

facts about lavender essential oil.

Did you know that the application of lavender has

immediately stopped the pain from burns?

You can apply it directly to the burned area and with no

dilution. This has been known to stop the blistering

and to aid burns in healing and sometimes

will prevent scarring.

Let me explain about dilution.

Some of the oils are known to be very hot!

And if you apply them without

 diluting them without the 

use of olive

oil, vegetable oil or fractionated coconut oil,

they can

BURN YOUR SKIN!!

PLEASE use care especially with small children.

Whenever I share with you, I will be sure to give the

information needed for application.

 

Some other uses for lavender are:

 

*Insomnia

*Bites and stings

*Stress

*Acne

*Allergies

 

These are just some of the many uses of lavender oil.

A Geranium in Winter

Vibrant red. Delicate petals. Bold scent.

 

These are what have made the Geranium a favorite of mine.

 

To have this blooming in my room in the dead of winter

is a particular joy for the outside world is cold and hard. Gray and brown.

 

It's right that it's blooming right now. The color red in flowers

symbolizes:

Love

and the giving or receiving can be thought of as an

expression of love or desire.

 

 

During Post War times they were often found in homes and on

front porches. Seeing them brought hope to many as they

represented a positive change and a bright outlook.

And not only is the plant beautiful, this native of Africa is very useful as well.

The oil of the plant has been used as a relaxant and to ease respiratory

complications.

 

Powdered leaves have been used to treat burns and wounds. In the past,

the tubers boiled in milk

have helped with digestive disorders, while teas taken have

 relieved people from nausea and dysentery.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I look and I am thankful. I touch the leaves green and soft. I

 smell it's presence when I stand close.

Clean and refreshing. 

It is it's own little celebration and

it touches me with it's

 happiness.
