Our Favorite Lavender Oil Uses

*Prior to reading this article on lavender oil uses (or any other health-related information on our website) please take a moment to read our full Health Disclosure.

Lavender is a beloved oil around our house.

I typically add a couple of drops of lavender to some Epson salts and toss it into my daughter’s morning bathwater. Not only does this soothe her irritated skin, but it also tends to give her a gentle attitude adjustment when she’s cranky.

I also really, really love using it in my laundry. A couple of drops on a wool dryer ball is seriously heavenly.

Our family also thoroughly enjoys diffusing lavender essential oil in the evening hours. Sometimes by itself, sometimes combined with other oils such as Valor or KidScents Sleepyize to promote restful sleep — works wonders!
