Lavender Oil for relaxation and its benefits
Lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is most commonly known for its relaxing effects on the body. The fragrance is calming, relaxing and balancing both physically and emotionally. The use of lavender oil with massage therapy can ease pain, promote better sleep, and reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
As a relaxing treat for you, I am happy to use my lavender oil-infused massage gel upon request, at no additional charge. I use a 100% natural and 100% pure lavender oil along with my organic massage gel. It is just delightful!
