Lavender

At a glance

Aromatherapy tradition

• Stillness and rest — settling restless minds before sleep
• Skin that needs settling — calming redness, soothing minor inflammation
• Tension that settles in the head and shoulders
• A cleansing scent for spaces — bedrooms, linen, recovery rooms
• The gentle starting point — kind to older children and most blends

Ritual use

• Diffusion — 5–10 drops in a vaporiser. Play the 963 Hz Solfeggio tone. Close the eyes, breathe slowly for ten minutes.
• Massage — up to 10 drops total (with up to two other oils) in 20 mL of carrier oil. Sweet almond, jojoba, or apricot kernel.
• Bath — 6–12 drops in 1 tbsp jojoba, stirred into a half-full warm bath before you step in.
• Pillow — one drop on a cotton handkerchief tucked into the pillowcase.
