How to use this essential oil
By mouth (stress, anxiety): For adults, put 2 drops on a neutral tablet 3 times a day. For children (over 7), 1 drop 3 times a day.
Cutaneous route: 2 to 5 drops diluted in a vegetable oil or undiluted, then massage the area concerned (contractures, sunburn...) 3 times a day. For children, use only 2 drops.
Diffusion (stress): Put a few drops undiluted or diluted with other oils in your diffuser.
- For nervous states, add 20 drops of lavender to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or neutral bubble bath; pour under the turbulence of the tap and relax for 20 minutes. Lavender is sedative: plan to go to bed after the bath. For children, always dilute in vegetable oil such as sweet almond: 8 years, 8 drops; 5 years, 5 drops; 2 years, 2 drops...
- A classic remedy for otitis: place 2 drops of lavender E.O. on absorbent cotton (not absorbent cotton) and insert at the beginning of the ear canal. Do not pour pure or diluted essential oil into the ear if you don't know the condition of the ear canal.
- For high blood pressure and migraines: apply 3 to 5 drops of pure lavender to the temples, nape of the neck and wrists.
- To help children fall asleep, diffuse lavender and orange zest in equal parts in the bedroom for 10 minutes before putting them to bed.
- It's often recommended to put lavender on the pillowcase, but this practice should be avoided for two reasons: the face is put on the pillow, and lavender is an essential oil and can irritate the eyes; this is particularly true for children. In the middle of the night, you wake up and the smell bothers you; what can you do? You could have simply put the essential oil on a tissue that you keep close to you and that you can move away from if necessary.
- On wounds, prepare lavender compresses: in a small bowl, pour ¼ cup of water and 4 drops of lavender; soak gauze in it and apply to the area to be treated.
- For musculoskeletal pain, prepare a lavender rub alone or in synergy.
- A drop of fine lavender essential oil in a cucumber mask can help reduce skin imperfections.
