Lavender Essential Oil Uses

Lavender Fields Kokokahn Essential OilsLavender is a classic, gentle, generally safe and recognizable essential oil that is great for relaxing and soothing for sleep. Lavender essential oil uses include stress reduction, skin healer for bugs and skin irritations, and balancing ones’ emotions. Lavender essential oil can also be used to calm angry emotions and help relieve sadness. Lavender Essential Oil is steam distilled from the flowers and has a very beautiful, herbaceous and flowery aroma. Our lavender is from Provence, France. Because of the high altitudes and growing conditions in Provence, the French lavender is considered the best aromatically and therapeutically.
