I am pretty new to essential oils , but I have used the scent of lavender for years for it's beautiful fragrance and soothing affect. I decided, recently, to start dabbling into essential oils and I was extremely happy to have this opportunity to try it out for free.
I received a 10mL bottle of lavender essential oil from Avenir Oils to test and review for free and it is amazing. I love that it's 100% pure! It is very relaxing, calming, and is perfect for diffusing in your bedroom just before bed for a great night's sleep. You can use this product for so many different things but I do recommend that since this is 100% pure, you need to diluted in water before applying to your skin. It may seem like a little bottle, but believe me, you don't need much to get that wonderful scent.
Since receiving the lavender essential oil, I decided to really look into the health benefits of essential oils and I was quite amazed at what I found! Lavender Oil has a ton of medical benefits but it also can be used for aromatherapy purposes as well. Here’s some examples of those benefits:
