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.
