Lavender Massage Oils
Lavender is well known for its many healing properties, we see its benefits almost daily in our lives. Did you also know it is recommended by most natural practitioners to calm, soothe and relax the mind and body? That's why you so often see and smell lavender when you go to the spa. Well here at the Lavender Apple we want you to be able to relax just as well at home! That is why Peggy designed these wonderful lavender massage oils. They smell just as heavenly as you'd imagine. 



We have three types of massage oil. Our lavender massage oil is a calming blend that restores essential moisture balance to skin and helps calm the mind. Our lavender rosemary also has the same relaxing properties of the lavender oil, just with the added essence of rosemary oil. And our lavender amore oil is perfect for those who want a more intimate or romantic massage. 



All of our massage oils are known for their soothing and balancing fragrances. Easily absorbed lavender oil delivers essential fatty acids and nourishing moisture to your skin to keep healthy and hydrated. Your skin is smooth and soft, your body calm and relaxed. 
Once you have had a massage with our oil, you will note it's regenerative and tonifying qualities, good for dry, damaged skin. Smooth and lightweight, it revitalizes dry, delicate, and even sensitive skin types. 

It's so wonderful to treat yourself to a massage, but its even better when you use products that enhance how you feel during and after that massage. You can purchase your own Lavender Apple Massage Oils HERE


The best uses for Lavender Essential Oil

There are so many different types of essential oils out there these days. If you are new user of essential oils, you may wonder what types of oils you should invest in. Surprisingly, when I ask essential oil users, if you could only use one essential oil ever again, which one would you choose? Their answer is consistently Lavender oil! It is the most versatile of all the oil options. 


Lavender essential oil is most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body. You've most likely had it used on you during a massage. You've probably smelt it permeating the spa. Therapeutic grade lavender oil is actually highly regarded for the skin as well. You can use it to clean cuts and bruises, and calm skin irritations. The fragrance is relaxing, calming, and can bring balance. You will feel it both physically and emotionally. I've heard people say that carrying around a bottle of lavender essential oil is like carrying you own personal first aid kit, perfume, and pick-me-up all in one! 

Here are some of our favorite Lavender Essential Oil uses: 

1. Calming agent and Sleep Aid
Rub 2-3 drops of lavender oil in your cupped palms and inhale the sent deeply. Then rub a drop onto your pillow and drift into a relaxed dreamland. You could also do this technique in crowded areas like planes or shopping malls. 


2. Bug bitesPut a single drop of Lavender oil on an insect bite. You should see an immediate reduce in swelling. This will also help to stop the itching.
