Benefits
Well-known for its potential to calm and relax overworked minds, lavender essential oil is believed to promote relaxation and ease anxiety, in turn leading to better rest and sleep. Beyond its ability to improve our mental state, lavender oil is also claimed to help treat skin conditions like eczema, promote hair growth, repel insects, encourage wound healing and reduce the pain and inflammation of sunburn.
More research is needed to identify the exact benefits of lavender essential oil and we always recommend speaking to a medical professional before using essential oils in place of a medically prescribed alternative.
