Lavender Oil is one of the purest and finest essential oils used give a soothing massage. It offers plentiful benefits to the skin. Early research shows that rubbing 2 or 3 drops of lavender oil on the upper lip and inhaling the vapor might reduce migraine pain and nausea, and help stop the headache spreading. Research shows that lavender aromatherapy may improve symptoms in some people with depression. Taking lavender by mouth might also help. While taking lavender appears to be slightly less effective than the antidepressant drug imipramine, taking the two in combination might be more beneficial than taking the drug alone.
