Loving Lavender + All It’s Benefits
One of my favorite scents (and has been forever) is lavender. It smells and looks beautiful wherever you put it! Not many people know the mental & health benefits of lavender and that’s why I wanted to share this post with you all today; both the natural flowering plant and the products that are made using it’s scent, color, etc. How are you loving lavender?
What will lavender do for you?
(The following information was collected and summarized from articles on Health.com and Organics Facts – check out the articles HERE and HERE)
Fight Dandruff
According to Health.com and dermatologist, Francesca Fusco, warming, mixing, and rubbing lavender oil into your scalp then letting it sit for an hour can fight those flakes. Using this method a few times a week could lead you to start seeing improvements. Periodically, dry scalp arises for me too and it’s so frustrating. I love finding natural ways to aid common issues.
Bye, Bye Bloating
I am always looking for ways to reduce bloating. You eat one wrong thing, drink too many bubbles, or your body is just out of whack and the bloating appears. Consuming even a sprinkle of lavender in a snack, drink, or meal could leave you waving the bloating away.
Sit Back & Relax
The scent of lavender is easily my favorite overall benefit. It smells so good and leaves you feeling a sense of relaxation you didn’t before. I am always looking for lavender candles, air fresheners, and beauty products to send my stress away. The scent does make you drowsy, however, so maybe wait until later in the day when you want to calm down or go to sleep.
Soothe Your Skin
During certain times of the year my skin gets extra itchy and it is very unpleasant. Hey, it’s even good for mosquito bites (new realization for me). Rubbing lavender oil into the skin can substantially reduce the itch and redness. The best part is it’s all natural so you don’t have to worry about applying it multiple times over the course of the day!

I’ve always wondered at the curative traits of lavender. I have in tea and I suppose it’s soothing. How can you tell? It’s pretty though.
I love lavender too ❤️❤️❤️
