Using
Lavender Essential Oils
Stress Relief:
Lavender has a regulating effect on the nervous system
with its balancing and harmonizing nature. Being an
adaptogen, it can have a restorative effect in cases of
listlessness or weakness, but conversely has a calming
effect on hyperactivity or agitation. It's one of the
best stress relievers known and also helps with
insomnia.
Head Ache Relief: Lavender can be used in
several different ways. One of the easiest is to
apply a few drops to a small ball of cotton, and in hale
when a head ache is present.
Bathing with Lavender: This mixture can soothe
the most stressful day into a peaceful night.
Start the water in the bath, while adding 1 cup of
baking soda. Once the baking soda has dissolved
and the water is turned off, add 9 drops of Drops of
Pure Lavender Oil. The warmth of the water will
enhance the aroma of the lavender. Enjoy the bath
for at least 1/2 hour.
Massage with Lavender: This
is the most effective method of using the oils,
combining their properties with the therapeutic power of
touch. The oils should be pure, and then carrier oils
are add making for any effortless massage. The
carrier oils should be pure too. Sweet
almond, sesame seed, or olive oil are the most common.
The ratio of carrier oil and oils is approximately
5 drops in two teaspoonful of carrier oil.
Remember these are pure oils, carefully measure the
amounts, you can always add more. As the
oils are warmed by the massaging, the aroma becomes even
more aromatic. Again, less is more, so use a
little at a time.

How
to Make Lavender Wands
Our
favorite use for the lavender is the wands.
The instruction are below on how to make a Lavender
wand. We place the wands in the office, in our
cars, and even have them in the bathroom.
They are beautiful to look at, but even more delightful
to smell.
Materials:
13 or more fresh stems of lavender (any odd number
greater than 13)- each at least 12 inches tall 3
yards of satin or other ribbon, 1/4 inches wide. The
first time you do this, just relax and don't get
frustrated. I first did this I thought "how
can I do this, I need another set of hands. "
I think the first one took me 1 hour, now I can complete
on in about 30 minutes. Patience. It will be
well worth the try, I haven't stopped making them since.
In fact every spring, I watch the lavender daily to pick
them when they are full of aroma, and the ideal size.
1. Strip all the leaves from the stem. The suppleness of
the stem is important to the success of wand making.
Harvest the lavender early in the day, and make sure
that the flowers are not damp, the flowers will mold if
they are damp.
2. Line up the bottom of the flower heads and tie them
gently together with the end of the 3 yards of ribbon.
See picture 1.
3. Turn the bundle upside down and gently bend each stem
down around the blossom heads. You can facilitate this
step by scoring the underside of the stem section that
is being bent with your fingernail. When all of the
blossoms are "in a cage of stems" the long end
of the ribbon should be pulled out of the cage, the
short end tucked inside.
4. Line up all of the stems evenly around the blossoms,
making sure that they do not overlap. See picture 2.
5. Start to weave the ribbon under and over the stems.
Gently pull on the ribbon to make sure the weave is
tight. The most difficult part of this process is in the
first two rows of the weaving. On the second row you
should be going under the stems that you had gone over
on the first row. See picture 3.
6. Continue weaving until you have covered all the
flowers. You can use a stem of lavender to push any buds
that stick out back into the weave or rub them off. Wrap
the ribbon around the "neck" of the wand and
tie a slip knot.
7. Trim the stems to the same length and continue to
wrap the stems until you reach the end. Use a rubber
band to secure the ribbon to the end of the stem. After
the stem has dried and shrunk, you can rewrap the ribbon
and glue the ends.
