All things we love about lavender with Dr Teals

By Sinead M’Gee

Ahh Lavender, the scent of our Grandmas house. This ancient herb has been used in medicine dating back to cleopatra’s days. Stemming from the mint family, lavender is not only recognised for its beautiful purple colour but for its health benefits as an essential oil. At Dr Teal’s we love using lavender in our products.

Sleep aid
Lavender is probably best known for its sleep-inducing properties. With a calming scent, the oil has been said to improve sleep problems such as insomnia or broken sleep. We recommend using lavender infused products just before bed to get the most out of the essential oil.

Aromatherapy
Lavender is almost, always used in aromatherapy as a way to decrease stress, anxiety and sooth the nervous system. 

Menstruation pain
Lavender has a way with reducing aches and pains during the menstrual cycle. Commonly used as an essential oil in heat packs or warm baths infused with lavender oil help to release tightness and alleviate cramps in the body. Therefore, letting your body relax.

Migraine headache relief
As you have probably gathered, lavender invites those who use it as an essential oil, to be calm and relax. There are studies that have shown, that lavender can relieve migraines and headaches.

Antimicrobial action (anti-fungal fighting properties)
Another use for lavender is its amazing antimicrobial properties. Used in ancient medicine, the oil was a go-to remedy to fight off bacteria and fungi. A 30-minute soak in a bath paired with Dr Teals Lavender Epsom Salt soak can help clear skin issues such as psoriasis,
