How to use lavender oil

Lavender oil is a fantastic, versatile product with a long history in skincare and aromatherapy. Me Animas Lavender Body Oil is an organic and vegan oil that can be used to soothe the skin, nourish and create harmony in everyday life. Here, I, Katties, share with you my best summer tips for how to use lavender oil.

History and aromatherapy

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been used for thousands of years for its cleansing and soothing properties. In the Ebers Papyrus , one of the world's oldest medical texts, lavender is documented in over 700 recipes. Cleopatra is said to have used lavender in her baths and washed herself with it daily.

The name lavender comes from the Latin "Lavare", which means to wash. In the world of aromatherapy, lavender is often called the "Healer of the Universe" , as its scent and properties help to create balance, calm and harmony.

Burn relief

Lavender oil is known for its soothing effect on sunburn and burns. When I first used lavender oil on sunburned skin, I was surprised at how quickly the redness and burning subsided.

How to use lavender oil for sunburn:

1. Gently rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
   

2. Dry the skin by patting it with a soft towel.

3. Apply Me Animas Lavender Body Oil liberally to the affected area.

4. Repeat the lubrication morning, evening and as needed.

The oil moisturizes the skin, soothes irritation and helps the skin recover without peeling.

Relief from insect bites

Mosquito bites and other insect bites can cause intense itching and irritation, especially for children. Lavender oil has a natural anti-itch and soothing effect.

How to use lavender oil for insect bites:

1. Apply the oil directly to the bite.

2. Repeat every 10 minutes for the first hour or until the itching subsides.

Lavender oil not only relieves itching but also helps the skin recover faster and reduces the risk of infections.

Lavender oil as part of your evening ritual

Lavender has a documented calming effect on the nervous system and can help you relax before bedtime.

I started using lavender oil as part of my evening ritual, combining it with a short massage. I quickly discovered that this created a calming moment for both body and mind.

How to create a relaxing evening routine:

1. Lubricate your hands and wrists with Me Animas Lavender Body Oil.

2. Massage the oil into your shoulders and neck to release tension.

3. Breathe deeply and feel how the lavender scent calms the mind.

This routine can be especially effective for children – a gentle massage with lavender oil before bed can help them relax and fall asleep more easily.
