How to Use Lavender Oil for Anxiety
This floral favourite will help keep anxiety levels at bay. Here's how to add it to your practices.
Lavender Oil
Lavender Essential Oil, with its unique floral-herbaceous aroma, is a cornerstone in aromatherapy. Renowned for its calming and soothing properties, it's ideal for stress relief and promoting restful sleep.
Its versatile nature allows it to blend well with many oils, enhancing skincare, massage oils, and diffuser blends.
How to use lavender oil
Lavender oil is versatile and can be used in various ways.
Aromatherapy
Start by selecting a high-quality diffuser and ensuring it's clean and dry. Fill the diffuser with water, usually up to the fill line. Then, add 5-10 drops of lavender essential oil to the water reservoir.
Turn on the diffuser, and as it disperses the aromatic mist, allow the calming scent of lavender to permeate the air, creating a serene and soothing ambience in your home or workspace.
Topical Application
To use lavender essential oil topically, begin by diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba. Combine a few drops of lavender oil with the carrier oil in your palm, adjusting the amount as needed.
Gently massage the mixture onto your skin, focusing on areas like your wrists, temples, or the back of your neck.
In The Bath
Start by drawing a warm bath to your preferred temperature. Once the tub is filled, add 5-10 drops of lavender essential oil directly into the water. Swirl the water gently to disperse the oil.
As you soak in the fragrant bath, the soothing aroma of lavender will envelop you, promoting relaxation and tranquillity.
How to dilute lavender oil with a carrier oil
Diluting lavender oil with a carrier oil is a straightforward process. Generally, a safe dilution ratio for topical use is 1-2% essential oil to carrier oil.
This means for every 30ml of carrier oil (like jojoba, coconut, or almond oil), you should add about 6-12 drops of lavender oil. Simply mix the oils well in a dark glass container.
For facial application or sensitive skin, a 0.5-1% dilution is often recommended. Always conduct a patch test before full application to ensure you don't have an adverse reaction.
What are the benefits of lavender oil?
Lavender oil has numerous benefits due to its diverse properties.
1. It improves sleep quality
Inhaling the aroma of lavender essential oil can reduce anxiety, stress, and emotional tension, which are often underlying causes of sleep disturbances.
This relaxation effect helps quiet the mind and promote a sense of tranquillity, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.
Lavender has also been shown to lower heart rate and blood pressure, further contributing to a deep and restful slumber.
2. It can soothe skin irritations
Lavender soothes skin irritations through its natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. When applied topically, lavender essential oil helps calm redness, itchiness, and swelling associated with skin irritations, such as insect bites, minor burns, or rashes.
Its gentle and cooling effect provides relief, while its antimicrobial properties can aid in preventing infection.
3. It can help deal with acne
Lavender oil combats acne-causing bacteria and reduces skin inflammation, which are key factors in the development of acne.
It also assists in regulating sebum production, preventing excess oil buildup that can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
Its soothing qualities can calm irritated skin and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
