Infused Lavender Oil Benefits

Herbal infused oils are the most used natural remedy in my household. Lavender infused oil has many uses and benefits for the skin, stress, and more.

When I first started studying herbal medicine many long years ago, making herbal oils was the first thing that I fell in love with. I had always loved oils and lotions, but when I learned about what was in all the standard body oils, I was really shocked.

I couldn’t believe that thousands of chemicals were unregulated and allowed in our body care products. Even the stuff that said “natural” wasn’t so natural… I was so excited to learn that there was an easy alternative.

Have you ever been duped by the label? It says natural, the label itself even has that “natural” look, but then you get home and glance at the long list of ingredients that you can’t pronounce…

So, fast forward 30 years of making and using my own herbal oils… of all the natural remedies that I teach about, herbal oils are hands down the single most popular remedy that my students love to make and use.

Healing herbal oils are awesome and they aren’t just for when you are beginning to build your natural remedy tool kit; they are for anyone at any stage in their herbal and wellness journey.

Making Your Own Infused Oil vs. Essential Oil

There is a difference between infused oil and essential oil. I’m not talking about essential oils here, I am talking about handcrafted, made from scratch, inexpensively in your own kitchen, infused lavender oil and other healing herbal oils.

Making your own handcrafted herbal oils is also the single best way that I know of to really get inspired to use natural ingredients to moisturize your skin and avoid the harmful, hormone disrupting, skin damaging and toxic ingredients found in body oils and body care products that wreak havoc on your hormones and your health.

Have you ever been duped by the label? It says natural, the label itself even has that “natural” look, but then you get home and glance at the long list of ingredients that you can’t even pronounce…

No more detective work trying to figure out what’s in all the “natural” products or, even worse, what wasn’t listed on the label. (There are lots of chemicals in body oils and skin care products that legally don’t have to be listed.)

Making your own luscious, healing body oils is EASY!! There are many ways to make infused herbal oils and lots of different considerations, depending on which herb you use.

Lavender Infused Oil Uses and Benefits

You are going to love infused lavender oil, which has so many uses. The benefits of lavender oil include…

• It is anti-inflammatory, so it reduces itching and redness on the skin.
• It is antispasmodic, so it helps calm the muscles.
• It is vulnerary, which means that it increases the rate of skin healing. It is the perfect oil for healing minor cuts, scrapes and scratches.
• It also has a rejuvenating and uplifting effect on the mind, so it’s helpful for stress or anxiety. I use it in the bath a lot!

Lavender infused oil is also my favorite massage oil, especially for the feet.

It’s the massage therapist’s dream and the Mother’s Little Helper all wrapped up in one oil.
