Lavender essential oil is beloved for many reasons. Its relaxing and comforting floral aroma is so very rejuvenating. Having a simple Lavender Roll On ready for daily use can truly be an asset.
Feel agitated or stressed? Use a Lavender Oil Roll On to melt your worries away. I have one that I keep at my desk in my home office. It gets used at least once a day for a variety of reasons.
Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils because of its many therapeutic properties. Before getting into the oily roll on, let look a little more at lavender essential oil.
Lavender Essential Oil Roll On Benefits
This versatile oil is an absolute MUST HAVE essential oil for any collection and every home (in my opinion!). Main components of Lavender are linalol and linalyl acetate, both have sedative and anxiety relieving actions. Lavender oil also has excellent antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory actions.
Here are just a few wonderful benefits of roll on lavender essential oil:
- Encourages balance in all body systems
- Promotes relaxation and restful sleep
- Calms and soothes mind and body
- Renowned for its ability to nourish and heal the skin
- Has analgesic properties (pain relieving actions)
- Use for minor burns, cuts, and bug bites
Now you see why it is so great to have lavender roll on oil available whenever the need arises!
How to Use Essential Oil Roll Ons
Roller bottles make using essential oils very convenient. The smaller size makes it easy to take them on the go. You can put in a pocket, purse, backpack, or even a briefcase.
To use a roller bottle, you just need to invert the bottle and roll it onto your skin in the desired location.
Where to Apply Lavender Roll On?
Wondering where to apply your essential oils? It is best to roll on the area that you want the essential oils to help with. Got a sore neck? Apply roller blend to back of neck and shoulders. An ingrown toenail acting up? Apply directly to that location. Chest congestion and cough? Apply to upper chest and back.
Here are some common places that roller bottles are used on:
- Forearms
- Wrists
- Neck
- Shoulders
- Feet
- Upper Chest
- Belly
- Behind Ears
- Temples
Another thing I LOVE about roller bottles is that I can make an oil blend in a small batch. Great for experimenting, testing a new oil, or just trying a new recipe. That way if I don't like it, I am not stuck with a huge bottle of something I will struggle to use.
