Lavender oil

Traditional Usage

Lavender oil, which has long been used in the production of perfume, can also be used in aromatherapy. The scent has a calming effect which may aid relaxation and reduce anxiety. It may also help to relieve pain from tension headaches when inhaled as vapour or diluted and rubbed on the skin. When added to a vaporiser, lavender oil may aid in the treatment of coughs and respiratory infections.
