Advantages: versatile, calming, smells delightful

Disadvantages: none

Lavevnder is the most versatile of all the essential oils.

I would recommend it very highly to anyone who is pregnant especially. I used it in the bath - just a couple of drops added to the water, make sure the bathroom door is shut so that the lovely aroma stays in the room while you have a relaxing soak. Also a couple of drops on your pillow at night can aid a good nights sleep.

The aromatherapist I spoke to suggested it for pain relief during labour used with a massage oil or lotion (though can't say whether it works - my labour was too quick to try it out!)

I also recommend it to 'calm' overactive children. A couple of drops in an oil burner and a quiet game of cards or a jigsaw really does the trick for my 5 year old. I guess that's becuase it's supposed to have anti-depressant properties, sure does lift my mood anyway.
