*Reverse Hair Loss : One study found that people with alopecia areata, a disease that causes patchy hair loss, who put lavender oil on their scalps had significant hair re-growth compared to those who did not apply the oil.
*Improve Sleep : Skip the prescription sleep medications and embrace the natural relaxation properties in lavender. Having a massage with lavender essential oil may improve the quality of your sleep, helping you to awaken well rested the next day.
* kills bacteria and fungus : Lavender oil inhibits the growth of methicillin-sensitive and resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA and MRSA)
*Insect Repellant : To naturally protect yourself from summer bugs, add a few drops of lavender oil to a teaspoon of carrier oil and apply to your skin. Lavender contains geraniol, a compound that wards off biting bugs. Lavender can increase skin’s photosensitivity, so stay in the shade and wear your best sunblock.
*Relieve Muscle Aches : Whether you gave it your all at the gym or yanked too many weeds out of the garden, try massaging lavender oil into achy joints and muscles to ease pain rather than popping pills. Just the smell of the lavender oil alone will help to take your mind off of your aching muscles.
