Hello Everyone
Welcome to my new blog called “Essential Lavender” When we think of essential oils the #1 most requested oil is definately Lavender. This is what makes it Essential and therefore the name for my blog 
Lavender is the top Essential Oil for stress reduction, insomnia, headaches and burns! I will be adding some Essential Oil Recipes for Lavender later in another blog post so stay tuned for that one.
Essentially it was the first essential oil discovered by Rene Gattefosse when he burned himself in a lab environment. He need to place his hand in water but he mistakenly placed it in a vat of essential Lavender oil. He was so amazed at the way that the burn healed so quickly.
It was Rene Gattefosse who first coined the name “Aromatherapy” It is a shame that the market place has used it to trick people into thinking that they are doing something good for themselves when in actuality they are harming themselves with fragrance chemicals. 
It is really important to know how to use Essential oils properly and safely. That is why I always recommend people to take an Aromatherapy Course so that they can use Essential Oils properly for Aromatherapy Treatments.
For example, Did you know that many, many aromatherapy sites will tell you that you can use Essential oils of Lavender and Tea Tree neat on the skin without a carrier oil?
I always teach to dilute all oils, even Essential oils of Lavender and Tea Tree because I have had clients who have had reactions to these undiluted oils.
The ONLY TIME an essential oil such as Lavender should be undiluted is if you are going to be using it in an aromatherapy diffuser or nebulizer.
Okay, so that’s my first post on the Essential Lavender Blog. I hope you have found it useful.
