Author: Many people get confused when it comes to aromatherapy. This is because there is no law restricting companys from using fragrance oils in the products and calling it aromatherapy. Because of this, many people confuse aromatherapy with anything that smells nice. In actual fact there are many essential oils that do not smell that nice but can benefit you in spite of the fact of it’s smell.
It is important for people to realize that just because a product says aromatherapy on it, that does not mean it is a true aromatherapy product. Unless you see that it contains essential oils, rather than just fragrance, you will not get the benefits from the product that you may associate with the scent, such a lavender. If Lavender fragrance oil is used in the product rather than Lavender Essential oil you cannot benefit from the properties associated with the true essential oil. It is not only the SMELL in an aromatherapy product that causes relaxation but the therapeutic benefits of the natural chemicals which are found in the distilled essential oil.
Taking an affordable aromatherapy course can teach you all of these things.

Essential Lavender Oil is the #1 Oil sold by Aromatherapists around the world. It is the very first choice that the general public chooses and which aromatherapists recommend the most.
What is the reason for this phenomenon?
Why is Essential Lavender Oil the most loved oil?
What distinguishes it from the rest of the essential oils?
Essential Lavender has been the most popular since the beginning of the ages as far as we can trace it. The Greeks and Romans perfumed their baths with Lavender and it was a popular facial water between the 14th and 19th Centuries.
It was also burned as incense to the gods & goddesses and carried during the plague to ward off the diseases which were so prevalent.
The name Lavender comes from the Latin verb meaning “to Wash.” Lavender was essential to everyday living. It is even believed to ward off the evil eye.
Essential Lavender Oil blends well with many other Essential Oils also such as: Bergamot, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Clary Sage, Clove, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Fennel, Frankincense, Geranium, Grapefruit, Jasmine, Juniper Berry, Lemon, Lemongrass, Linden Blossom, Mandarin, Marjoram, Melissa, Myrrh, Neroli, Niaouli, Orange, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Peppermint, Pine, Rose, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Tea tree, Vetivert and Ylang Ylang.
Some of Essential Lavender Oils properties are: It is analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-septic, anti-rheumatic, a cell regenerator and a disinfectant.
I would like you to note this very carefully. Most aromatherapy books and web sites say that you can use Lavender oil and/or Tea tree oil undiluted on the skin. This is what is known as a neat application. BUT the big surprise is that they are finding more and more people are becoming sensitized to these mild oils because they were not diluted in a suitable carrier oil.
ALWAYS DILUTE ANY ESSENTIAL OIL BEFORE USING ON THE SKIN!
Essential Lavender Oil can be used for so, so many things, I cannot write them all down in one article. But because of its diversity and the ability to be sedating or stimulating depending on its dosage this has made it the number #1 oil in aromatherapy.
Now, how can you use Essential Lavender Oil? I will tell you 5 ways as I promised
- Essential Lavender Oil can be used in a candle light diffuser. Simply add 3-4 drops in some water on the top and light the candle underneath.
- Essential Lavender Oil can be placed on a cotton ball and placed inside your pillow at night for sweet, relaxing dreams
- Essential Lavender Oil can be added to your evening bath by adding it to a teaspoon of carrier oil or honey. 10 drops per bath is about right.
- Essential Lavender Oil can be added to a Tissue Kleenex and then stick it on a fan. The fan will cause the Essential Lavender to permeate the immediate area. This is great if you are stressed out.
- Lastly, for this article, Essential Lavender Oil can be added to 15ml of carrier oil and massaged gently into your skin. If you can get a loving partner to do it for you then it will be even more relaxing.

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.
