Things you didn't know about lavender.
- Lavender makes a great disinfectant. It's best to use lavender oil. Take a clean, 12-16 oz plastic spray bottle and fill it with distilled or spring water. Add about 4-6 drops of oil and shake. Remember to use drops! A little goes a very long way.
- Now, Spray Away Germs! In the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, anywhere! Keep a bottle in the bathroom and also one in the kitchen . It makes the house smell nice, and helps prevent the spread of colds and other nasty illnesses.
- You can put a few drops in your bath after a stressful day. It is noted for its soothing and calming effects. I have heard of putting a few drops in the dogs bath water! It is supposed to helps take that "doggy" odor way.
- Lavender also has healing properties. It is good for insect bites, minor wounds and minor burns. Use the same spray bottle!
- On a hot day, take the spray bottle and mist yourself! It really feels good and the scent will calm you.. Use it on your face as a quick hydrator..The lavender will help with any acne, but don't get it in your eyes.
- Put a few drops of lavender oil in your bureau drawers. Helps keep your clothing smelling fresh.. You can also put a few drops in the laundry, too! It is best to use the lavender flowers for this,but you can use the oils.
