Important Answers

Common Questions

• How does lavender oil work?

  Lavender oil works by interacting with your body’s nervous system. When inhaled, its calming scent signals your brain to relax, reducing stress and promoting a sense of well-being. When applied topically, its natural compounds help soothe skin, ease muscle tension, and support overall wellness.

• Can I apply lavender oil directly to skin?

  Yes, but with caution. While lavender oil is one of the few essential oils that can be used undiluted, it’s always best to do a patch test first. For sensitive skin, dilute it with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba before applying.

• Does lavender oil really help you sleep?

  Yes! Lavender oil has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Diffusing a few drops before bed or adding it to your pillow can create a soothing sleep environment. You can also apply it to your temples or wrists for a calming effect.

• What is the strongest essential oil for pain?

  Lavender oil is excellent for mild aches and muscle tension, but for stronger pain relief, peppermint and eucalyptus oils are often considered the most powerful. Peppermint’s cooling effect and eucalyptus’s anti-inflammatory properties make them great choices for sore muscles and headaches.

• How many drops of lavender oil should I use?

  It depends on how you're using it. For diffusion, 3–5 drops in a diffuser is ideal. For topical use, 1–2 drops mixed with a carrier oil works well. If adding to a bath, 5–10 drops combined with Epsom salt enhances relaxation.
