Thursday Plantation Lavender Oil

It was a tiny bit disappointing to see this Lavender Oil wasn't really 100% pure Lavender oil as it also contains some Limonene and Linalool for whatever reason..maybe they act as a preservative or something similar to that. Anyway it was a lovely fresh smelling Lavender scent that didn't smell too 'stale' and the gorgeous smell lasted well when I put a few drops into carrier oil and also used on pillows with great sleeping success! I even put some in the toilet bowl when I cleaned it and the gorgeous scent lasted really well in the bathroom. The little bottle was easy to use with a built-in dispenser top.

I was able to get a bottle from the beauty vault. I haven't previously owned a bottle of lavender oil so I don't have comparison base but I was happy to read that it was Lavendula Angustifolia oil instead of the other varieties of lavender oil which too harsh to be used directly on the skin. I used this to for a number of things.

Pimples - I applied to a big pimple I had twice a day for a couple days but it didn't seem to work and my skin burned a bit so I guess my skin was a bit sensitive. It didn't help the pimple go away and just irritated it for longer.

To calm down an allergic reaction/ minor rash - I was excited to use my new Natio Body Scrub I scored from the vault. Unfortunately, the first time I used it in my night time shower I broke out in a bunch of red, itchy bumps all over my arms, chest, back and tummy. I mixed a few drops of lavender oil in the palm of my hand when I applied body oil following my shower. Within a few hours I my skin had calmed down the and the slight rash had faded.

Vacuuming - I applied a few drops on a tissue and vacuumed the house. Made the room smell a bit like lavender.

I have given the bottle to my mom to add a add to some water in a spray bottle to spritz my younger sisters hair with as lice prevention. I would definitely consider buying a bottle of this in future and having it handy for more stuff.

When you've been struggling to sleep well for the majority of your life, a product like this can be a lifesaver! My mum bought this for me when I was about 11 and I have been using it ever since. The smell is strong depending on how much you use, but not overwhelming. It helps calm and put me in the mood for sleep very effectively and lingers for a while. Would recommend to anyone struggling with sleep or mindfulness. The only downside I have noticed is that as it is an oil, using too much can leave a slight stain on light coloured linen.

There are two oils my house is never without - Tea Tree Oil and Lavender Oil.

I love how lavender oil has so many uses. It is a natural anti-inflamatory, so great for headaches and muscle pains. It's an antiseptic, so great for skin uses like acne. And it can help with relaxation and sleep issues. And it can be used in so many ways - direct application, in a bath, an oil burner, on your pillow.

Thursday Plantation is a great lavender oil. Smells authentic, some have a funny smell to them. The only down side to this wee bottle is there is no dropper in the neck, so you can end up pouring out too much. Definitely invest in a wee dropper for it as you don't need much. I got the 25ml from the supermarket on special for around $11.

I found this product excellent. I sometimes find the smell of lavender can be overbearing but I diluted with a small amount of olive oil. Not only did it assist in relaxing me but at one point when I felt a headache coming on I used a small amount and applied it to my temples. My headache was relieved. I bring it down to the Lavender oil excellent product does what it says it will and would recommend it to anyone needing a natural assisting sleeping aid.

This lavender seems very pure and is strong so you only need a really tiny amount. I've tried lots of different lavender essential oils and it's always interesting that they seem to all smell slightly different. This one is great for medicinal purposes but isn't necessarily my favourite smelling one. Just my personal preference.

Using the lavender oil in my soy wax melt makes the house smell amazing and gives you a relaxing, happy and calming vibe. It's great for people who have a hard time winding down from a long day and trying to sleep. I put a few drops time to time on my sister pillow and it helps her sleep by making her calm and relaxed.

I started using this every night on my pillow and it has worked wonders. I fall asleep way faster and I feel that my quality of sleep has improved too. It also makes my room smell amazing.
