Lavender is one of the most versatile and effective essential oils. It is calming when you are stressed and provides a relaxing sleep after a tough day.  For centuries, lavender has been used to treat burns, banish tension, ease anxiety, soothe muscle pains, heal infections, induce sleep and harmonise the senses.  Other uses include the treatment of headaches, sores, ulcers, acne, dermatitis, inflammation, insomnia and stress.  Lavender contains more than 100 chemical constituents, which is just one of the reasons for the wide scope of uses for this adored aromatic oil.
