Lavender essential oil

Hi!! Back to the blog after a lot of time.

This days we're renewing the home's furniture and there's a lot of work to do,so I have had no time to write.
Btw today I'd like to talk about the amazing properties of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)! This post is dedicated to all the Bath and Beauty producers and to everybody likes to know something interesting about this faboulous plant.

Lavender essential oil has soothing, calming, and restorative properties. The essential oil is antiseptic, cooling and mild. Considered the universal oil, lavender is readily used neat, or undiluted, and combines well with almost all other oils for a wide variety of benefits. Many aromatherapists say lavender is the first essential oil to get.

Lavender Essential Oil Physical Benefits and Effects:
Skin care – especially dry or acne prone skin
Headaches – rub a drop or two on the temples for tension migraine relief.
Burns – The cooling, soothing and skin restorative effects are good for anti-inflammatory sunburn care. Documented use as an emergency care for heatstroke until medical personnel can arrive.
Insect Repellent/Bites and Stings – Repel bugs and takes the sting away from bites.
Blood Pressure and Heart – Soothes heart palpitations and lowers blood pressure because of anti-stress properties
Congestion/Asthma – Anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects make lavender good for respiratory support. Suitable for use with children as well.
Dandruff – Stimulating and moisturizing effects help with hair shine and dry scalp.
Lavender Mental/Psyche Effects:
Anti-Stress – Calming and soothing effects help counteract stress hormones
Antidepressant – Lavender is a well-documented antidepressant essential oil.
Refreshing and Uplifting – Can help balance mood swings and PMS symptoms
Insomnia – A mild sedative effect for restless or anxious nights

**A word of caution. Those with sensitive skin cannot always tolerate direct application of lavender oil to the skin. If that is the case for you, you can dilute the oil with a carrier oil such as almond oil or jojoba oil. European made essential oils are the best for now unless you know the source that you are getting the oil from is organically grown. Europe has standards for the production of essential oils, the United States does not. Because of the extreme concentration of essential oils, they should always be organically grown. As always, be wise and use your own best judgement!

Welcome to my blog!

Hi everybody! Welcome to my blog!

My name is Francesca, I'm an Italian 21years old student of Landscape Architecture. I live in north-west Italy, on the see. 

I love art and architecture. In my freetime I create handmade soap and bath goods <3

I stated with this craft hobby a few months ago, making some soap bars for me and my family. Then I never stopped: I read books about the properties of the erbs/oils/butters,bought essential oils and fragrances, bought bottles and jars for body waters and scrubs....I had to buy tons of supplies (and it costed a lot) but the money I spent was NOTHING in comparison with the satisfaction of creating a good line of products with my name.

I created this blog not only as a showcase of my products,but expecially to make all the people interested in soap making partecipate my creative work.

There will be tutorials and advices. There will be lessons and recipes. 

So,what can I say,bookmark this blog and follow me in the faboulous world of soap!
