Lavender - sweet, refreshing floral fragrance.

• Mind - Balancing
• Body - Toning
• Spirit - Smoothing

No household should be without lavender.  It is the most versatile and useful oil.  It relaxes, soothes and restores balance to mind and body.

• It is a natural antibiotic and is antiseptic - try using some directly on a bug bite or bee sting to reduce pain and swelling.
• Lavender is also a great zit zapper.  Mix 3 parts Lavender with 2 parts Tea Tree pure essential oil and apply daily to the affected area only.
• For relief from the pain and itch of sunburn add 20 drops of Lavender essential oil to an 8 ounce spray bottle of water.
• Add a few drops to a warm compress for morning sickness - this remedy is also good for a hang over.  Place the warm compress on your forehead and relax for 1/2 hour.  You should feel revitalized.
