Benefits of Lavender Oil: An outline of lavender oil uses along with the many healthful and protective benefits of essential oil of lavender.
Lavender cultivation is big in the Pacific Northwest, and particularly in the Sequim WA region of the Olympic Peninsula.
Besides growing well in the semi-arid Olympic rainshadow, the lavender plant has a stunning array of natural benefits, accompanied by a 2,500-year history of uses.
In fact, its very name, "lavender," comes from the Latin 'lavare,' which means 'to wash;' the Romans used lavender buds in their bath water for the antiseptic properties of the lavender oil within the blooms.
The fragrant aroma was no doubt a welcome bonus.
More recently, field hospitals during World War I used lavender both for disinfecting and for healing.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, "Using natural oils like lavender oil is one of the best holistic tactics that you can incorporate in your life."
