What Is Lavender Oil Used For?

Video Transcript

"Did you know that the Latin word for lavender is lavare which means to wash? My name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley's Skin Solutions. I've been a clinical aesthetician for over half a decade and I'm going to talk to you about the uses of lavender oil. Now the reason that that's such an an appropriate name for this oil is that it has such a pure and clean scent and it actually promotes balance for the entire nervous system. It's used for so many things. You can use it for headaches, migraines, tension, emotional stress. Lavender can relax and effect your entire system in that way. Now for the skin, lavender oil has anti-septic and anti-fungal properties that makes it great for acne, eczema. It can also be good for wrinkles and sagging skin. Now that doesn't mean to go out and buy lavender oil and apply it directly to the skin because it's too concentrated. Use a cay, carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil or even olive oil if you have it. All of these things make lavender oil such an easy to use and very effective oil. My name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley's Skin Solutions and that is all about lavender oil."
