Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender Essential Oil – 15ml
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing.
Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it.
Today, we use lavender as a tea, to dress wounds, to induce sleep, ease depression, and reduce stress. Lavender oil is one of the safest essential oils and can be used in full strength on the skin.
