It has a charming, gentle floral scent, with a spicy, fruity note, so it’s popular in many perfumes today. Lavender has a long and memorable history. It has been used for thousands of years, from the ancient Egyptian, Phoenician and Arabian civilizations, to the Greek and Roman empires. It was used for perfumes, mummification, and aromatherapy. Later it was used in Europe by the 1600’s as a preventative against cholera and the Black Plague. Today, we learn more and more about the many therapeutic benefits of lavender essential oil,

The lavender’s calmative properties go to work fast to desensitize the nerves and relieve the pain, while its healing properties begin repairing your skin and preventing scarring. Then the aloe vera seals the lavender in and moisturizes the skin!
  2. Stress Relief:Lavender Maillette essential oil sends messages to the brain via the smell sensors to calm anxiety and tension, so your body and emotions can relax and restore balance. Try a drop on each temple (not too close to the eyes) and just breathe! Soon, you’ll find tension draining away, your heart rate will calm, your teeth will unclench and you’ll be able to face your day again!
  3. Skin Conditions:Skin problems like acne, boils, fungus, scars and insect bites and stings are no match for Lavender Maillette essential oil. It promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, reduces or prevents scarring, and it’s anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties quickly heal the infections that cause acne and boils to fester. Its anti-inflammatory nature takes the itch and swelling out of bites and stings, and they won’t get infected and become a bigger problem!
