Application mode

Japanese research points out that lavender essential oil is dripped into warm water to bathe or soak feet. Ten minutes later, the autonomic nerves can be observed to be relaxed by ECG, thus achieving the effect of mental relaxation and rest. The above formula can also be used to relieve postpartum perineal pain, especially three to five days after delivery.

Using incense can obviously improve hypertension, relieve the pain caused by headache and related nervous tension, and relieve anxiety.

Matters needing attention

Q: Can pregnant women use lavender?

Answer: Because lavender has the function of relaxing smooth muscle (so it has the physiological function of calming nerves and relieving palpitation), it is recommended to avoid using it before the first trimester/0/4 weeks of kloc. For pregnant women of 14-28 weeks, they can take advantage of their soothing characteristics to get pregnant easily and smoothly.

Q: Do babies need to avoid using it?

Answer: Although lavender is one of the few that can be directly used in pure essential oils, it is recommended to use it in the form of 1cc base oil diluted to 5- 10 drops (six months ago), but it is not necessary to avoid using it.

Magic notes

Q: What can common lavender flowers do outside?

A: It is directly used to make tea. Five to ten small flowers can make two people drink for an afternoon. I have seen some elegant afternoon tea shops, where two small flowers are placed in a pot, or some shops are afraid that customers are not cost-effective, and they put them in one hand, which is too choking and not good enough. If you are afraid of monotonous taste, you can add lavender leaves or other flowers and plants with compatible tastes.

You can cook and take a bath. Grab a palm, boil it in a kettle, and pour it in when taking a shower. The fragrance will last longer and be simpler. If you are afraid that lavender will be difficult to clean in the bathtub, you can wrap it with gauze or towel before cooking. This "lavender bag" also has a wonderful function, that is, it can be used as a massage bag when taking a bath, which can be used to apply face or specially care for the parts of the skin that need maintenance. Don't throw it away after use. It can be used as a sachet, but be careful not to leave it too long and too wet to cause mildew.

Can be used for curing meat. If it is used as a seasoning to marinate meat during cooking, it can provide a quite fragrant and unique taste, especially to remove the fishy smell of meat, but the proportion of other gravy should be adjusted relatively, not too heavy. Lavender is eaten as a whole, so it doesn't need special filtration.

Can be used to make sachets. Put some lavender flowers in a cotton bag and sew them together, which is the best fragrance bag. Lavender smells elegant, can remove mildew and repel insects, and can be placed in the desk drawer of the wardrobe, or in any place that is prone to odor. The most recommended place is pillow or bedside, because it has excellent sleep-helping effect. If the taste becomes weak after long use, you can also add a few drops of essential oil.
