Recently I was asked by a customer - "I have a scar following an operation and want to know if there is an oil that will help it heal?"Having first hand experience of this I was excited to tell her that good old 'Lavender' oil was the best - make sure it's therapeutic grade though...
After being told by a doctor that my scar wasn't healing very well we were going to have to put 'something like steroid cream on it', I thanked him, took the script, and called my naturopath!
I had been putting therapeutic grade Lavender Oil (Young Living) on for only about 3 weeks when I noticed an amazing difference! No chemicals or synthetic ingredients in a 'natural cream', just plain and simple Lavender Oil.
I believe that Lavender Oil should be in everyone's handbag, pocket or desk drawer. It is so versatile and fantastic to use on children - when they have those little scratches, cuts etc that are just so MAJOR to them. Dab a little 'magic oil' on and it's amazing how it suddenly isn't that bad! My girls now automatically ask for Lavender when little injuries occur instead of crying and screaming for attention! Parental bliss!
So, here is the 'official' information on Lavender -
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. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy. Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations. The French scientist René Gattefossé was among the first to discover these properties when he was severely burned in a laboratory explosion. Lavender may also be used to enhance the flavor of foods.
So there you have it - the new handbag accessory for spring is therapeutic grade Lavender!! - Available through Limelizard of course!
Have an Inspirational Day!
