Congratulations to Mae for winning Aromatics International’s first blog giveaway. Here’s her winning recipe:
I soak a cotton ball with about 10 drops of lavender oil and put it in a pocket on my vacuum to infuse the smell into the house. Mmm…
We’d like to share some more Lavender ideas with Mae and with our blog readers.
- Try three drops in the tub. Just be careful when adding your drops, sometimes they can come out pretty quickly. Three drops are the perfect and safest amount. The aroma will fill your whole bathroom, turning a simple bath into a spa experience. (And you’ll sleep beautifully!)
- For sunburned or wind-burned skin, add 15 drops in a spray bottle full of water, with a teaspoon of aloe vera gel (unscented) and 2 tabs of vitamin E. Keep it in the fridge for use on sunburns for an extra cooling effect.
- As a 100% organic and pure organic skin moisturizer, use a 3-4 drops in 1 oz of organic Jojoba oil.
- For effective calming action, use 5 drops Lavender and 5 drops Frankincense in an inhaler. Inhale during difficult or frightening situations. (Keep it in your bag or in your car!)
- Make bath salts for your friends. Use 10 drops in 4 oz of unscented bath salts for a great gift!
Thanks to all our entrants—everyone had great ideas. Look for an upcoming post regarding Aromahead’s stance on safe uses of essential oils.
