Lavender is one of my favorite oils. It has a sweet, floral scent and is one of the most versatile oils. Lavender provides a relaxing and soothing aroma. I like to diffuse it in my bedroom before I go to sleep at night as well as apply to my wrists. After a hard day, I mix a couple drops of lavender with Epsom salt and drop in a warm bath. It also works wonders on minor burns, insect bites and scars. You can also put a drop of lavender in your mascara to help eye lash growth.
There are numerous essential oil brands out there but Young Living is the only brand to use the Seed to Seal Process. This is one of the reasons that I trust these oils to use on my family.
