20 REASONS WHY LAVENDER WILL IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
Boy I love essential oils! They’re so multipurpose and safe for the whole family. Of all the essential oils I use in my life, Lavender is my favourite. It’s so multi-purpose that it is a must-have for every home. Need some reasons to get yourself some?

One important thing to consider is the vast difference between things sold in quantity versus things sold of quality. Not all Lavender oils are created equal.
One of the many reasons I am a DoTERRA advocate (although not endorsed in any way) is because of their dedication to providing superior products. They source their oils directly from the country of origin, follow a strict third-party testing protocol and use only the highest quality ingredients.
Not convinced? DoTERRA oils are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, meaning many of them can be taken internally. (Although legally any products distributed in Canada cannot be marketed that way). This is a game-changer in the quality department as so many oils offer therapeutic benefits when ingested.
Want a few ideas on how to use your Lavender oil?:
Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet at bedtime.
Keep a bottle of Lavender on hand to soothe occasional skin irritations.
Freshen your linen closet, mattress, car, or the air by combining Lavender with water in a spray bottle.
Take internally to reduce anxious feelings.
Use in cooking to soften citrus flavors and add a flavorful twist to marinades, baked goods, and desserts.
Directions for Use:
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired areas. Dilute with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.
After all this writing, I’m now ready for that bath. The only thing I like better than Lavender in my bath is Lavender accompanied by a glass of wine. I hope you are having yours now.
Wishing you a night of peaceful reflection, restorative contemplation and love; so much love.
With Love and Light,
Chivonne
