10 ml Lavender Essential Oil

If there is one essential oil that deserves the designation essential, it is lavender - used in Egyptian bathing and Roman ceremonies, carried through centuries of European herbal practice, and arriving in contemporary aromatherapy as the oil that genuinely does what it claims: calms, heals, and settles the mind and body with considerable consistency. Steam distilled from the flowering tips of Lavandula angustifolia in France, it is the benchmark against which other calming oils are measured.

Apply to pillows and the soles of the feet for sleep, to the temples for headaches, to minor skin irritations for their healing properties, or dilute in a spray bottle with water for a room fragrance that works as well as it scents. In ritual practice, lavender covers peace, love, purification, and the gentler aspects of emotional healing - a herb for magic that asks for calm rather than fire, for healing rather than banishment. The oil that earns its place on the shelf permanently.
