Description

Heart Note. Produced in the famous French region of Provence. Lavender is a perfectly balanced plant. It is used in subtle aromatherapy for its ability to act from the 1st to the 7th chakras. It is related to Mercury and therefore is a plant characterized by lightness, speed and flexibility. Its name originates from the word “wash.” The Romans used it in their cleaning practices and in baths. Lavender essential oil has a variety of properties. It calms and instills a feeling of peace in the mind, balances the nervous system and helps with insomnia. Good for stress headaches. In the absence of nervous vigor, however, lavender acts as a stimulant and relieves fatigue. It stimulates the functions of the entire body-from the respiratory to the urogenital system-so much so that it is considered a first-aid remedy. It can relieve premenstrual and menopausal symptoms, promotes regularity of flow.

-Essential oils should not be applied pure to the skin as they can cause side effects, such as skin irritation, allergies, and actual spots on the skin. It is therefore necessary to always dilute them in vectric substances such as base oils, creams, soaps etc.

-Do not use them in treatment of pregnant women. Citrus E.O.’s (such as bitter orange, bergamot, and lemon) contain photosensitizing substances and should not be used before sun exposure. Keep O.E. out of the reach of children. To rule out possible allergic reactions, which are, moreover, very rare, the first time you use an essential oil do a test with a drop on the crook of your elbow. Within a minute if no reaction occurs then you can use it safely (always in the recommended dilutions)

-Nutmeg, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme are contraindicated in cases of epilepsy.
