Check out this website, it's full of reviews about lavender oil from people who actually tried it on their acne. They talk of ways of applying it, what do dilute it with and whether it's effective (it seems like it: lavender oil is one of the highest rated natural products against acne on the site). So by all means, try it out, and if it works for you, add a review to the website (the more people know about acne solutions and how effective they are, the better).Can i used lavender essential oil from the body shop for my acne?
nonononono!!! believe me, go to a beauty shop or a shop that sells essential oils. Lavender oil calms you down, no tyour skin. Try a smidge of honey for moisture, oatmeal and hhoney for a mask, and any DRUGSTORE acne product for toner. to wash your face, trry the mask if your going for all natural. believe me. My mom is a makeup artist for Paul Mitchell and my dad is a dermatologist. no oil on your face, it causes more acne.
If you are going to use oil you will clog up the pores instead of opening them up , follow this example wash your face with warm water and Neutrogena soap to open the pores squeeze out all the black heads and pus then re wash your face again and this time use very cold water to re close the pores do this in the evening when you are not going out , if you are a girl keep your face free of makeup when you are home. Avoid drinking soft drinks/Pop the sugar will increase your acne ,drink plenty of water.

Any time you put oil on your face, you are just clogging your pores
Get anything noncomedogenic because it will not clog pores.
Also, try Cetaphil as a face wash, it works well and you can get it almost anywhere
What really worked for me was taking 50mg of zinc everyday and using a benzoyl peroxide face wash. I've never really heard of using lavender.
tea tree oil would be better for acne

Is it true that Lavender Oil makes your breasts grow?
Because that's what my Chemistry teacher told me. (Its a woman)
~Thank YouIs it true that Lavender Oil makes your breasts grow?
There does seem to be merit in conclusions.In part %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
Oils 'make male breasts develop'
Products containing lavender oil were cited in all three cases
Using lavender and tea tree oil products can cause young boys to
develop breast tissue, a study finds.
Gynaecomastia is rare, and there is often no obvious cause.
But US specialists report in the New England Journal of Medicine that
three boys developed the condition after using the oils.
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) team
say doctors who see boys should ask about their use of such products.

What places sell peppermint essence and lavender essence oil?
She is right above my answer, a health food store will have those and many more. They will have sample ones too so you can smell and see if you like them. There are so many kinds and for your hair I would check them out. Look in your phone book for a whole foods or something like that.What places sell peppermint essence and lavender essence oil?
when you say essense, do you want synthetic, or real essential oil? most health food stores will carry essential oils. if you are wanting food grade oils, though, you will probably have to search on the internet and make sure it is labeled food-grade. you can find peppermint and lavendar tea in health stores also.

Can someone tell me how to make lavender essential oil from lavender plants, simply?
i have grown lavender flowers blooms are ready for harvesting. how do i make oilCan someone tell me how to make lavender essential oil from lavender plants, simply?
You cannot make essential oils with a distillation system. You can make a fragrant oil by soaking lavender flowers in an oil, like olive oil or for a lighter oil sesame oil. You leave the flowers in the oil for days maybe a week, then if you want more fragrant oild you strain out the old flowers add new flowers and soak it again, you can do this like 3 times. It's good masage oil, but it is not an essential oil.Can someone tell me how to make lavender essential oil from lavender plants, simply?
use a light oil like saffflower or use alcohol like vodka or gin and soak and mash the flowers in it and then strain into a atomizer or for more info check the library they can give better info and correct oils and so on
Quite easily, actually. You're best bet is to let it soak in an oil that you would buy from a natural health food store. Don't use any commercial oils for eating, except for almond oil but then you get that smell too. You could also google it on the internet and get more answers.

Does lavender essential oil help in easing migraine pain?
I know that lavender eo is good for promoting relaxation as well as Ylang Ylang. I have both of these oils and use them in a light bulb fragrance diffuser in the bedroom to help ease stress from the day. Is lavender good for treating migraine pain? What other oils are there to help do this?Does lavender essential oil help in easing migraine pain?
actually ylang ylang (and other strong floral essential oils) will probably make a headache and/or migraine worse.
but lavender is very beneficial. its not just the scent that promotes relaxation but the chemicals that make it up are natural pain relievers along with several other things (skin care, acne, burns, rashes, soothes muscle aches and pains, helps digestion etc..) you can apply lavender oil, straight from the bottle to your skin (temples, back of neck) and it will be more beneficial
frankincense might also help (but do not apply to the skin, only use in the diffuser) and most citrus oils work well too, (lime, lemon, neroli, tangerine, grapefruit....but only use in the diffuser)Does lavender essential oil help in easing migraine pain?
I would suggest that any strong scent would likely make your migraine worse. Come to think of it, so does the light bulb. Caffeine often helps, as does sleeping.
I use it all the time! just the lavender, Really helped mine
Yes, it helps a great deal. I use it straight.

Using lavender essential oil as a prentative for lice?
Yesterday I read about a cosmetologist mom that I believe uses lavender essential oil mixed with water as a rinse after washing the hair. I didn't print it off to get all the details and now I cannot find it. I have a 5 year old and the other things are so harsh on her little head. I think this might be a good preventative. Please help if you can. Thank you.Using lavender essential oil as a prentative for lice?
I haven't heard anything about lavendar oil, but I SWEAR by Tea Tree Oil. My poor daughter was a magnet for head lice when she was younger. After someone recommended Tea Tree Oil, she never got it again. I would put a bunch of drops in a spray bottle with water and spary it in her hair when I was brushing it in the morning and at night. I would also use the shampoo with added oil to help me get rid of the lice, and use the shampoo for regular hair washes.
It works like a charm!
Also, it is NOT true that children who have poor personal hygene get lice. I have attached a link below for more info;

Good luck!Using lavender essential oil as a prentative for lice?
I don't know about lavender, but you can use Tea Tree Oil in the shampoo and it will definately help with any problems you have with lice. Also there is no real effective prevention for lice except to make sure the child's hair stay clean and well groomed. Lice thrive in unclean places. Here is an excellent website packed full of information :

Hope this helps.
Absolutely!

What is the actual smell of lavender essential oil?
I bought the lavender essential oil and it smelled like turpentine oil. Is it the actual smell of lavender oil?What is the actual smell of lavender essential oil?
It's supposed to smell like lavender.What is the actual smell of lavender essential oil?
Smells like sex and candy...yea.
You probably purchased a cheap version of lavender oil known as lavender 40/42. It's smells horrible in my opinion. Try a more reputable essential oil company and make sure it's 100% pure lavandula angustifolia or Bulgarian lavender essential oil. It 's scent is sweeter more floral.
Well, did you buy a reliable essential oil which can be taken internally or is it an oil for burning in the room? The quality is very different and some manufacturers make dubious blends.
In addition, there are five different types of lavender oil on the market and they are all different. One should always go by the latin name as they can have widely different properties
Lavendula angustifolia (or Lavendula vera)
Lavendula burnatii reydovan (not the true lavender but anti-viral)
Lavendula burnatii super (not the true lavender either)
Lavendula latifolia cineolifera (anti-viral)
Lavendula stoechas - which is neurotoxic and abortive if taken too long, but used anyway with cautious as it is very effective in certain types of infections and ear infections.
So, to say you bought Lavender essential oil is too little information. Hope you didn't buy the neurotoxic.
