Lavender essential oil benefits
Unlike other essential oils which are often mainly used for just one condition, lavender oil is more of a potent universal healer for a number of conditions.
It is generally non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and nontoxic. But to obtain all the benefits of lavender oil, you have to be sure you are using pure lavender oil as lavender is one of the most frequently adulterated essential oils. Organic lavender oil is preferable.
