Learning about and using Lavender


I found this great article about lavender, debunking the myth that it mimics estrogen, and listing many great uses for it.  I have used lavender essential oil on my daughter's boo boos to clean and heal them.  We use it at night to help relax and get a good night's sleep.  And, I have it lined up as one of the oils I use daily with coconut oil to moisturize my face daily.  Others include frankincense, myrrh, copaiba, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree), and geranium.  I love how my skin feels using the cleanser from Ann Marie Gianni and coconut oil with essential oil as moisturizer.  My skin has never felt so clean and smooth.  I'm not sure which contributes the most as I have been using these two together for awhile now.
