Using lavender essential oil Lavender essential oil can be used in any number of ways -- for example, by pouring a few drops to the bath, blending a small amount with almond oil for use as a skin moisturizer or massage oil, or by adding the oil to a diffuser, vaporizer, or candle lamp to spread the scent and healthful benefits throughout the room. A quick look at this dilution chart will guide you on how much oil to use for different applications. You can also use lavender with other essential oils to create custom-blended aromatherapy products like these: Soothing Skin Spray 2 ounces of distilled water Calming Foot Powder 1/4 cup of arrowroot powder Calming Mist Spray 4 ounces water in a spray bottle: |

Some that might be particularly useful with regard to lavender include articles on general blending of oils, specific bath, massage and perfume blends , and relaxation formulas for a spritzer, foot bath and foot cream. NOTE: Because essential oils are so concentrated, they must be handled respectfully. Make sure you are familiar with the safe use of essential oils before you start.

Storing your oil Aura Cacia essential oils are packaged in dark-colored glass bottles to protect the oils from light, but they should also be protected from air, heat, and heavy metals. If allowed to deteriorate, essential oils will become less fragrant, more viscous, and darker in color, but they can still be used. If stored properly and tightly sealed, lavender essential oil can keep for a long period of time, possibly even years -- but hopefully, you'll choose to use and enjoy it often rather than letting this delightful oil sit on a shelf or in a cupboard.
