What is Lavender anyway?
Lavender is an aromatic evergreen shrub of the mint family, with narrow leaves and bluish-purple flowers. Who knew that hundreds of years ago humans would start using it as way to rest our minds and get better sleep. Lavender has been known for its gentle and soothing fragrance since ancient times. Evidently, the Greeks and Romans would use it in the public baths because it made them feel so refreshed and alive.
But do know all of the ways we can use this wonderful plant today?
Uses of Lavender Oil To Try For Yourself:
- Deodorizing Pet Stains
Cat or dog stains still smell even after the stain is gone. By mixing of a handful of baking soda and a few drops of lavender oil, then sprinkle the mixture onto the smelly spot, let it sit for a half hour or so, then vacuum it up! VOILA! no more stinky stains. - Add Scent To Dryer Cloths
Place a few drops on a cloth and toss it in the dryer with your just-washed clothes. The lavender oil on the cloth will naturally deodorize and leave behind a fresh scent! - Helping You Sleep

Put a drop of lavender oil on a bee sting or insect bite to stop itching and reduce swelling. - Cold & Flu Steam Treatments
