Complementary Therapy for Cancer Lavender Oil Uses at Home Natural Perfume Do you want to smell good without using toxic perfumes? Lavender oil is a great scent for both women and men. You can either try adding pure oil directly to your skin, or you can dilute oil in water or with a carrier oil for a more subtle scent. If you’d like to rub the oil right onto your skin, try adding 23 drops into your palms and then rubbing your hands together. Then rub the oil directly onto your skin or hair. You can also try using 2 drops of lavender oil added to a spray bottle with about cup of water. Shake up the spray bottle and then spray whatever you’d like. Consider combining lavender oil with other relaxing oils, like cedarwood essential oil or frankincense essential oil. My Homemade Lotion includes lavender, frankincense and peppermints oils, which smell great together and help to reduce inflammation and improve the health of your skin. Another great way to use lavender oil as a natural perfume is to add it to your shampoo or create your own, like I did with this Homemade Coconut Lavender Shampoo. Non-toxic Air Freshener The same way you use lavender oil as a perfume, you can use it around your home as a natural, toxic-free air freshener. Either spray lavender oil around your home or try diffusing it. To create a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom before you fall asleep, try spraying the lavender oil and water mixture directly onto your bed sheets or pillow. Natural, Chemical-Free Lip Balm Lavender oil is excellent for preventing sunburns on the lips and also healing chapped, dried lips. Try adding a couple of drops of oil to shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil or another carrier oil and then rubbing it into your lips for protection whenever you will be in the sun. If you have a sunburn in other areas on your body, try using the same method to heal the skin more quickly and prevent itchiness and pealing that can result a sun burn. Remedy for Stomach Discomfort Many people find the scent of lavender to be soothing to the stomach. If you are feeling nauseous, or know that you are going to be traveling in a car of plane and are prone to motion sickness, spray some lavender oil on your skin and clothes, or rub it into your temples, next and palms.

If you’re having a stress filled day, take a breath and give this diffuser blend a try to uplift your mood and maintain concentration.
