Collection of lavender recipes

 Collection of Lavender Recipes                      lavender plant
  by Lucinda Jenkins

   
Lavender has been the lady of the garden for centuries.  She stands tall above most herbs in beauty and versatility. Originally found in the Mediterranean countries, this perennialLavender has been the lady of the garden for centuries. This perennial herb has long been prized for its perfume and medicinal qualities. Once used by the ancient Romans for its healing qualities the name itself comes from the Latin "lavare" to wash. A lavender bath is not something new.

Lavender also gives us another product called lavender essential oil which is used in aromatherapy. This is one of the most useful oils in therapeutic terms, being sedative, antiseptic, painkilling and calming.
We have a collection of lavender recipes we would like share with you.

Relaxing Body Butter

2 TBS shea butter
2 TBS cocoa butter
2 TBS olive oil
5-7 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Melt shea, cocoa, and olive oil together, let them cool. Beat them well, so the consistency goes from stiff to creamy, add the Essential oils. You can also add some Vitamin E . Put into container

Lavender bath salts

Restful Evening Bath salt
1 cup of Dead sea salt
1 teaspoon of calendula oil
7-10 drops of lavender essential oil
5 drops of patchouli essential oil

Mix together essential oil and calendula oil, add salts.. then and add to a warm bath. When I make bath salts for myself I like to mix an oil and essential oil together and then add to the salts. The essential oil seems to mix in better and floats on the water to better give more aromatherapy or therapeutic measure to the bath.

Making bath salt can be fun! Just let your creative side run wild!
