Lavender Oil - Sunburn Remedy - Aromatherapy 
Lavender oil is rejuvenating, relaxing with restorative properties for skin and psyche. Helps heal sunburns and repair aging and damaged skin.
The seductive smell of lavender has been revered for thousands of years. The name comes from the Latin word "lava," which means wash, and Romans used to throw handfuls of the herb into their baths.
Lavender slows development of wrinkles as it rejuvenates, moisturizes and heals damaged and aging skin.
Lavender is rapidly absorbed by the skin and is excellent for sun burns, eczema, acne, insect bites and even athlete's foot. It helps to repel insects.
Lavender is helpful for insomnia, headaches, migraines, inflammation and pain. Lavender's lovely scent makes a delightful natural perfume. It is the most versatile of oils with a multitude of uses.
The word “aromatherapy” was first used in the 1920s by the French chemist René Maurice Gattefossé who accidentally discovered in the laboratory that lavender oil relives pain and helps heal burns.
If you have difficulty getting to sleep, add 8 drops of lavender oil to your bathtub. The soothing effect and aroma of lavender will be enough to help you to sleep.
Lavender is a powerful, pleasant smelling, multi-purpose oil every home should have. No other oil is as effective in the treatment of burns.
Lavender oil is widely used in aromatherapy to ease tension, tiredness and feelings of depression. Lavender is gentle, yet powerful healing properties allow it to be used for burns and insect bites.
When used for massage, Lavender produces a relaxing, calming effect. A few drops of this essential oil in a hot bath will relieve anxiety and produce a pleasant drowsiness. In a cool bath the oil will refresh and energize.
Lavender is relaxant, antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-depressant, decongestant, detoxifying, diuretic and restorative and is one of the most popular essential oils with a multitude of uses.
In one study of 86 people with alopecia areata (a disease of unknown cause characterized by significant hair loss, generally in patches), those who massaged their scalps with lavender and other essential oils daily for 7 months experienced significant hair re-growth compared to those who massaged their scalps without the essential oils.
Most essential oils are so strong that a little goes a long way. Essential aromatherapy oils should be diluted in carrier oils for use in massage. When massaged into the skin (essential oils should be diluted - with the exception of Lavender and Tea Tree).
Essential oils are metabolized by the body like any other nutrients. Certain components within the oils will stimulate the immune system, destroy bacteria, act as powerful antioxidants and building blocks to improve nutrient absorption. It takes up to 20 minutes for the oils to be absorbed by the body, where they remain for 7 hours or more, before being excreted.
Smell plays an important role in the process. Differing aromatic rings are contained with essential oils. When we smell these, the odor is transferred into a nerve message. The message is sent to different parts of the brain where the process of stimulating different hormones is undertaken.
Use aromatherapy oils anywhere you want to add a touch of scent.

People are beginning to realize that they can get rid of their physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual ills through the use of aromatic essential oils. Universities and hospitals are studying the use of aromatherapy oils. Some hospitals in Oxford, England, for example, have replaced chemical sedatives with essential oil blends which include lavender, marjoram, geranium and cardamom oil.
Firms in Japan are pumping aromatherapy oils such as lemon and rosemary through the air conditioning systems to improve employee efficiency, especially in the less productive hours of the afternoon. An entire new field of health care, making use of aromatherapy oils with their sedative, calming, pain-reducing effects, is growing around the care of the terminally ill. Aromatherapy oils, with their air-purifying, anti-viral, antibacterial, antiseptic abilities, are ideal for vaporizing in hospitals and crowded public places to prevent airborne infections. Mass aromatherapy is also suggested to influence social behavior and increase work efficiency.
Aromatherapy is essentially old wine in new (little brown) bottles. Aromatic essences were popularly used centuries ago in India, Egypt, China and Greece. We've all heard the story of Cleopatra's amorous adventures aided by aromatic essences, of ayurvedic use of essential oils for medicine and massage, the use of sandalwood to enhance meditation, and the use of aromatic resins by Egyptian embalmers to preserve mummies. Modern aromatherapy has come into its own in the past 30 years.
Widely practiced in Europe and the UK, aromatherapy is also finding converts in Australia, Canada, the USA and Japan. A decade ago, you could hardly come across an English book on the subject, or find it mentioned in the periodicals. Entire journals are now devoted to the subject, with researchers, industries, medical practitioners, alternative health therapists, and amateurs jumping on to the aromatherapy bandwagon.
Essential oils are chemically complex and very versatile. Juniper oil, for example, can be used to treat skin problems, dandruff, diarrhea or joint pain. The natural plant essences with their hormone-like properties and vitamins, minerals, and natural antiseptics, are easily absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin or nose. Different fragrances, with varied vital electromagnetic properties and vibrational energies, serve to stimulate our immune system, circulatory system and neurological functions.
Essential oils can be put in three categories: those that invigorate the body and rev up the spirit, those that tone, balance and regulate our bodily functions, and those which have a calm, sedative and tranquilizing effect.
We know that some fragrances can evoke strong emotional or psychological responses. They affect the cells of our nose, which send messages to the brain, which is then stimulated to release hormones and neuro-chemicals that bring healing changes in the body, and our psychological and emotional reactions. In Aromatherapy: Scent and Psyche, authors Peter and Kate Damian point out: "Olfactory research is still in its infancy—we are now gaining rudimentary knowledge of how and why essential oil fragrance affect human psychology and physiology."
