6 Ways to Use Lavender Essential Oil for Feeling Calm and Centered

6 Ways to Use Lavender Essential Oil for Feeling Calm and Centered

Lavender essential oil is a simple and natural way to connect to your most centered self

The healing properties of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil and the power it can have on our overall well-being has been known about and utilized for centuries. 

From acting as an anti-inflammatory to managing stress and supporting better sleep, Lavender essential oil is one of the most natural ways to establish high levels of tranquility, peace and alignment. 

Although using Lavender essential oil in your beauty routine creates remarkable results, this essential oil can also be used in many wellness practices to enhance the most natural way of living. 

Let’s explore all the different ways to use Lavender essential oil in our day-to-day life to achieve the highest levels of relaxation and well-being. 

 

 

 

Lavender essential oil naturally soothes anxiety and stress from the inside out 

Not only can Lavender essential oil help us to feel our most luxurious and centered self, this essential oil has also been shown to ease anxiety and stress levels.

Lavender essential oil has been proven to have an effect on the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls parts of the body that triggers our fight-or-flight response.  

Lavender essential oil has also been used to ease the feeling of headaches and migraines, and when inhaled correctly can help to soften sharp pains being experienced in this part of the body. 

  

This one-of-a-kind essential oil can be used in many ways to achieve remarkable results 

Originally used and applied directly onto the skin*, Lavender essential oil has evolved over the years and is now used for many different uses in both beauty and wellness regimes. *Never apply an essential oil directly to the skin. Essential oils should always be diluted in a carrier oil.

Let’s explore six beautiful ways that Lavender essential oil can be used to support more easeful, natural living.

 

1. Enjoy a luxurious face steam

It’s no secret that the right face steam can bring out a whole new version of you, and using Lavender as part of this soothing practice can add in the ultimate touch of relaxation. 

Lavender, citrus oil and rose oil are a great combination for a face steam - simply combine a few drops of each of these ingredients, add them to a bowl of hot water and use a fresh face cloth to steam and cleanse your skin.

2. Luxuriate in a Lavender scented bath

Of all the ways to use Lavender essential oil, running a soothing and relaxing bath and adding a touch of Lavender essential oil makes for the perfect combination. 

Simply combine 10 - 15 drops of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil and a cup of Epsom salts together. Step into a warm bath, then add the Lavender/Epsom salt mixture. When you step out you’ll smell like you’ve just spent hours in a field of Lavender. 

 

 

3. Scent your laundry room blissfully 

One of the best ways to steer clear of detergent chemicals in your washing routine is to integrate Lavender into your laundry. 

Simply drop the essential oil to an unscented laundry detergent and not only will you benefit from the healing and relaxing properties in the clothing, but it will give every garment a gorgeous scent once dry. 

 

 

4. Diffuse your bedroom before bed

Creating your own little oasis of Lavender is the perfect way to drift off to sleep. 

Simply add a few drops of Lavender essential oil to your favorite home diffuser during your evening routine, set the timer before bed and let the soothing aroma drift you off into a peaceful slumber.

5. Indulge in a Lavender essential oil scalp treatment

Have you ever washed your hair and felt like your scalp needed a little extra love? 

With countless healing properties on offer, using Lavender essential oil to soothe the scalp is a natural remedy and can have you saying goodbye to a dry, scaly scalp for good.  

Simply dilute a few drops the Lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) with 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and massage the solution into the scalp evenly. Once on the scalp for fifteen minutes, rinse out thoroughly in the shower or in the bath. 

Not only will your scalp feel nourished and completely revived afterwards, it will also smell nothing short of a Lavender dream.
