Health Vision
|July 2025
Whether you're looking to reduce stress, improve sleep, or enhance your skincare routine, lavender oil offers a natural solution.
Lavender essential oil is one of the most versatile and widely used essential oils in the world. Extracted from the fragrant purple flowers of the Lavandula angustifolia plant, this oil has been cherished for centuries for its calming, healing, and aromatic properties.
Key Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil
1. Promotes Relaxation & Reduces Stress: Lavender is renowned for its ability to calm the mind and ease anxiety. Studies suggest that inhaling lavender oil can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and promote relaxation.
How to use: Diffuse 3-5 drops in an aromatherapy diffuser before bedtime or apply diluted oil to pulse points.
2. Enhances Sleep Quality: Struggling with insomnia or restless nights? Lavender oil has been shown to improve sleep quality by increasing slow-wave (deep) sleep.
