Lavender oil, or lavender as some call it, is rich in many health benefits, the most important of which is eliminating nervous tension, in addition to relieving pain, cleansing the scalp and skin, enhancing blood circulation, and treating respiratory problems.
Researchers have confirmed that the effectiveness of this type of herb is comparable to that of lorazepam, a leading drug used to treat anxiety and nervous tension, according to the health website “Daily Health”, in addition to its other benefits such as eliminating acne, preventing bloating, and improving digestion.
Lavender oil can also be used in the form of capsules, and it can also be inhaled to treat colds and coughs and relieve stress.
Here is how to use it externally as follows:
– Put 4-6 drops of the essential oil in boiling or iced water, then wet a small towel with this water and place it on the site of pain, whether it is the chest due to colds or the forehead to treat migraines.
– You can also add ¼ to ½ cup of fresh or dried lavender flowers to a warm bath to enjoy complete relaxation.
