Lavender Lotion Balm

Lavender 

Lavandula angustifolia 

Is great on the skin for many different benefits. I’ve seen on my Aromatherapy clients the  beneficial effects to reduce acne, and promote wound healing and help even skin tone if  prone to red or irritated skin. IIt also helped clients relax before the massage if they had any anxiety. In my Aromatherapy Massage practice i used Lavender quite frequently in massage and saw the amazing benefits it had on my clients. I also used it in balms, oils, salves, lotions for my clients after consultations. I don’t recommend it for people with low blood pressure as it lowers blood pressure in therapeutic doses of therapeutic grade steam distilled Lavender essential oil. Clients who were anxious, struggled with anxiety or just wanting relaxation benefited through massage and inhalation or diffusers. It has many active constituents to help the skin too. Helps wound h, I saw on my clients it helps with conditions like acne and psoriasis, and it helps with faster wound healing by increasing collagen production. It also has antimicrobial properties against particular bacteria that I saw help my clients with skin infections.

It is Important to have correct dilution with a carrier, not neat or undiluted application as seen in studies (1)(2) 

It also reduces anxiety(7) and helps with mood, depression (4), and helps relax and helps  sleep (5). It can also be used to treat migraines (6).(8) And overall review paper on Lavender (9)
