You might have noticed that the smell of lavender can induce a calming effect on you. But what you might not have realized is that our body has a biological response to the smell of lavender, and the health benefits can be quite amazing.
Using lavender essential oil can have the following positive effects:
-Stress relief. Lavender has an overall calming effect on our nervous systems, meaning it can help you relax enough to sleep, banish your persistent headaches, or even diminish the effects of anxiety and depression.
-Pain relief: Lavender has also been shown to relieve the pain associated with minor muscle aches or sprains.
-Improved skin: Shown to help heal scars or blemishes, lavender can also slow the appearances of wrinkles and stem acne outbreaks.
-Circulation: Increasing your body’s circulation, lavender (in conjunction with proper diet and medication) can lower blood pressure.
-Immunity: Helping increase your body’s overall immune system, lavender can be an excellent addition to your everyday routine. You might just be surprised to find you’re the only one in the office that isn’t hacking and sneezing.
