Lavender has been used for centuries for its therapeutic effects, antiseptic properties, and anti-inflammatory features. With the ability to soothe and calm almost instantly in so many ways, its usefulness and versatility are simply unmatched. Here are a few methods you may, or may not, have been familiar with to experience the magnificent healing benefits of lavender: 1. Acne Treatment – Because lavender is an antibacterial agent, it works wonders for inflamed, irritated skin. It works in the same fashion as tea tree oil but happens to be more of a gentle alternative for your skin. 2. Cold Compress – The holiday season brings cold and flu season right along with it. If you catch a cold, try applying some lavender drops to a cold, wet face cloth. 3. Massage/Lotion – Use lavender lotion during a massage or simply to hydrate your skin for healing benefits. 4. Bath – Excel in self-care with a steamy bath full of lavender and Epsom salts. 5. Laundry – Freshen up your clothing and rid yourself of scent boosters that are filled with chemicals. Remember to take a moment to heal yourself this holiday season and don’t forget to include a client with our Mon Cheri Gift Box!
