Ways that I have used Lavender oil in the last few months
๐ My daughter got a bee sting, we used Lavender oil to help reduce swelling on her toe. I also quickly whipped up her first roller ball of Lavender & fractionated coconut oil – this served as a distraction at the time & she loved to roll her own oil on her sting. She did also roll on her arm etc so this helped to create a calm feeling.
๐ I pop a drop with a little handful of Epsom salts in the kids bath each night. Can just do the drop alone as we do when we are out of salts.
๐ We use it in the diffuser in the bedroom often.
๐ I have a blend of Lavender, peppermint & lemon oils w coconut oil. This supports my seasonal allergies & lessens my sneeze per day rate.
๐ I have almond oil with Lavender & frankincense I use this daily on my face & dรฉcolletage for its beautifying properties ๐
Lavender is s
il. I didn’t think I used as much as I do but looking at the nearly empty bottle is testament to its use.

1. Lavender sheets – spraying a water / Lavender mix on my sheets. Either on the bed, if I want to go all hotel spraying & ironing ๐ณ, maybe I’ll spray just as about to pick them in off the line.
2. Lavender Latte – it’s a thing I’ve seen it on the internet it must be real. Doterra Lavender oil is safe to take internally, use topically & aromatically.
3. Make shower melts with Lavender oil
