The Benefits Of Lavender Essential Oil

The health benefits of Lavender Essential Oil include its ability to remove nervous tension, relieve pain, insomnia relief, skin care, and more.  Lavender's Latin name is Lavare, which means "to wash", due to its clean aroma.  Lavender oil is extracted from the flowers of the lavender plant which are fragrant and has been used in potpourri for years.
