lavender-blog2Finding pathways to relaxation may not just be important to your sanity, it may be crucial to your physical health and wellbeing. And creating a small haven for yourself once a day, far from the madding crowd, is actually quite simple. It’s as easy as shutting the door, closing out the world for 30 minutes, and surrounding yourself with lavender.

The health benefits of lavender essential oil are many. Its name comes from the Latin “lavare” meaning “to wash,” for its clean aroma. That aroma has long been celebrated for its curious ability to remove nervous tension and ease anxiety. Inhalation of lavender aromatherapy preparations is also connected to reducing pain and body aches, an unfortunate byproduct of stress. It can also help with headache and migraine symptoms like nausea and light sensitivity.

In women, it helps restore hormonal balance, promotes stable mood and increases mental capacity and clarity. A natural sleep aid, lavender’s light aroma is often used for the treatment of insomnia.

But did you know? Simply smelling lavender enhances blood circulation and reduces inflammation and workload in the lungs, helping you breathe better. No wonder holistic medicine practitioners have been using lavender essential oil for years to treat asthma, sinus problems, cold and even flu!

SacredGlo’s Sacred Clarity lotion candles contain a beautiful lavender essential oil blend, and are a fantastic way to jump-start your journey to wellbeing. Here are some other suggestions to create your lavender haven:

Make a 30-minute rule with your family: “This is my time.” No phone, no TV, no interruptions.

Find an area in your home, such as your bedroom or bathroom, where you can close the door and be alone.
Light several lavender-scented candles.

Take a warm, relaxing bath and add a few drops of Sacredglo’s Lavender oil blend to the water.

Rub some lavender into a warm washcloth, and drape over your eyes
