Haley Jensen: Lavender essential
oil is one of the most versatile,
the most powerful, and the
most popular essential oils.
So, what does it do and
how do you use it?
Because I’m sure that
you’ve heard of it before.
Lavender is very calming
and it’s very relaxing.
Its aroma can also help fight
occasional nervous tension.
So it just has many calming
and many balancing
properties to the mind, to
the body, to the spirit.
And it really just helps
clear and clarify your mind.
So in addition to those
balancing properties,
to those relaxing properties,
it’s also great for your skin
and it’s great for your hair.
So it’s great to apply
to your skin after a day
in the sun or after
you’ve been outdoors.
It’s great to help cleans and
soothe minor skin irritations.
It’s also really good to help
reduce the appearance of blemishes,
it can support and enhance
a youthful complexion,
support aging skin, as well as cleanse
your skin and cleanse your hair.
So there are so many ways to
use it in your daily life.
I go through so much
Lavender essential oil
and I know you will, too, you
just have to learn how to use it.
When in doubt, you can always
use Lavender essential oil.
So try using Lavender
before bedtime,
this is a staple, a
Lavender staple.
You can diffuse it before
bedtime just to create
that calming relaxing
environment.
Spas do that.
If you notice when
you walk into a spa
it’s very calming and
it’s very relaxing,
that’s usually because
they’re diffusing
or using some type
of Lavender aroma,
or Lavender scent in their
environment, in their space.
So try using Lavender
before you go to bedtime.
I always use it in my little
boy’s room, when he’s going
to sleep when he was a baby, I
would always diffuse Lavender
essential oil for those
relaxing calming properties.
You can also try adding a
couple drops to your bath.
So if you’re unwinding and taking
a bath at the end of the day,
try adding a couple drops
of Lavender essential oil.
Your pores are more open
when you’re in a warm bath,
so it’s a good way to
really get the most out
of that Lavender
essential oil when you
put a couple drops
in the bathtub.
You can also add it to your children’s
bathtubs, too, it’s a great way to use it.
You can apply a Lavender oil
to the bottoms of your feet.
You can also use
it in a massage.
You can add it to different
types of skincare products,
so whatever facial lotion
you’re using at nighttime
or in the morning time try adding
a couple drops of Lavender to it.
You can also add a couple
of drops of Lavender
to your shampoo or
conditioners to help cleanse,
to help soothe, and help
support the appearance
of healthy-looking hair
and healthy-looking skin.
I love adding a drop of
Lavender to my mascara.
So I’ll just put one or two
drops in my mascara tube,
swirl around the brush and then
I’ll apply it to my eyelashes.
I also will apply it -- I’ll
also add a couple drops
of Lavender essential oil
to my eyebrow serum.
So I will mix castor oil
with just a couple drops
of Lavender and a couple
drops of cedar wood
and I will apply it to my eyebrows at
night, or the ends of my hair, too.
It’s a great hair mask,
a great hair mixture.
You’re really combining the
benefits of castor oil
with Lavender essential oil,
it’s a great way to use it.
You could really just -- it’s
really a staple in your car,
in your diaper bag, in your purses,
because of its versatility.
When you're not
sure what to use,
or which oil will work best,
Lavender’s always a go-to
because it’s powerful
and it’s very gentle,
so it’s a great oil
to use on children.
We also have Lavender
Vitality essential oil.
Now, Lavender Vitality oil is
the same pure essential oil
as Lavender essential oil, it
is just labeled specifically
for internal use, and it has
that little white label on it.
So Lavender Vitality, you
can add a couple drops
of Lavender Vitality
to a veggie capsule,
add a couple drops to
your drinks to help
freshen up your drink,
make it taste better.
You can also bake with it.
So some of the benefits
of Lavender Vitality
are that it has a slightly
sweet floral taste,
of course, but it also helps
improve sleep quality
for occasional sleeplessness,
it supports general wellness,
it contains cleansing and
antioxidant properties,
and it can help ease
occasional nervous tension.
So, before bedtime, if
you’re making a tea,
like a chamomile tea, try adding a
couple drops of Lavender Vitality.
You can also add a
couple drops of
Lavender Vitality to your
jams or your jellies.
You can add it to lemonade
for Lavender lemonade.
Or maybe your
homemade ice creams.
Really, the options are endless,
just make sure you use a little bit.
Essential oils go a really long
way when you bake with them,
so just get a little
toothpick, put a little –
swipe it around in
the Lavender oil,
then mix it in your dish, and
then you can slowly add more
and more to whatever type of
Lavender taste that you prefer.
So comment below all the ways
that you love to use Lavender.
We know there are so many
ways, these are just a few
of the ways that I
love using Lavender
and that we love using Lavender
here at Young Living Corporate.
