Lavender – a highly versatile essential oil with a wide variety of uses. It is one of the more gentle essential oils and one of the few considered safe to apply undiluted to the skin. Lavender has been in use since ancient times, for its floral fragrance, as a food enhancer and for its therapeutic qualities. In recent years it has been discovered that lavender has antimicrobial and antifungal qualities. It is also considered calming and purifying, being added to diffusers for that purpose. Lavender is widely regarded as a sleep-promoting herb and for that reason the flowers are often included in ‘herbal pillows’ that are designed not so much to be slept on but to exude a pleasing and sleep-encouraging aroma.

One of the ancient names for Lavender was “Elf Leaf” – I rather like that one, can we revive it?

There are many useful resources for learning about / using Lavender. We also have a full length Lavender Herbal Tutorial page, which has a detailed article with uses, background information and facts.

Where to buy Lavender Essential Oil: It’s a good idea to find high quality organic oils – especially if putting essential oils on the skin. Looking around on Amazon I found this Organic Lavender 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil, which is a really good price and gets much five-star “rave review” feedback.

Also – our friends over at Revitalise Your Health also have a good article listing the top 8 uses of lavender oils.

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
