Thumbs up Different uses of oils

I've got a set of lavender oils in little bottles. There is a wide variety of lavender, not quite sure what I can actually use the oil for though?

I'm aware some oils are used for massaging, but not entirely sure whether these are suitable... and if I don't use them for massaging, is there anything else I could do with them?

Help

you can use a couple of drops in your bath. Mix it with a dessert spoon of milk as it helps it to break up when put in the water.

On a tissue under your pillow to aid relaxation when going to sleep.

Another way to use it in by putting a drop or two in water in a bowl and putting it on top of your radiator to infuse it into the air.

I use it as part of my medicine cabinet - it is excellent for superficial burns and wonderful for getting rid of the itchiness left after a insect bite. You can use it neat on the skin- 1 drop only as long as the skin isnt broken or bleeding.

If you are using it in oil you can blend a tablespoon of vegetable oil, olive oil or sweet almond oil with 3 drops.

Hope this helps!
