If you’re an essential oil user, you’ve most definitely heard about lavender – and likely have used it too!

• Bring luster to the skin

And with its familiar flowery, herbaceous aroma, it simply smells incredible. In a single oil, you’ll find support for your physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. No wonder everyone loves it! If there’s one oil you should have, Lavender is the one.

Using Wild Lavender Essential Oil Safely

Lavender is a safe, non-irritating, non-sensitizing oil — and like all essential oils, there are considerations to keep in mind to guarantee you’re using it safely.

Never take lavender essential oil internally. And we always recommend diluting essential oils before applying them to the skin to reduce irritation.

Holistic Wellbeing Recipes with Lavender Essential Oil

For holistic well-being and health, Wild Lavender Essential Oil is a must-have in your apothecary.

The uses of this magnificent botanical are varied and vast — below are just a few ways you can add it to your routines to enhance your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Wild Lavender alone is powerful, and the simplest method to enjoy its benefits is through palm inhalation or blending with a skin-loving carrier oil for direct topical application.

Lavender For Spiritual & Energetic Wellbeing

Lavender does some amazing things to the spirit. It calms while energizing; it grounds while uplifting; it relaxes while focusing. These seemingly disparate effects make lavender unique — bringing these benefits together for a balancing, centering experience.

WILD LAVENDER FOR PHYSICAL WELLBEING

Wild Lavender can have immediate effects on physical discomforts, from bug bites, acne, aching muscles and joints, respiratory issues, moon cycle symptoms, and even headaches.
