Lavender's Calming Properties: Did you know that lavender can help bring your nervous system back to a state of calm? Aromatherapists use lavender to treat headaches, nervous disorders, and exhaustion. Herbalists harness its power for skin ailments such as fungal infections, wounds, eczema, and acne. It's even a fantastic addition to healing baths for joint and muscle pain. Lavender can be incorporated into your routine through aromatherapy oils, bath gels, extracts, infusions, lotions, soaps, teas, tinctures, or as whole, dried flowers. 2. Medicinal Marvel: Antibacterial and Fungal Properties: Lavender isn't just a fragrant herb; it's also a powerful medicine. From promoting sleep to healing wounds, relieving migraines, and calming anxiety, lavender supports the nervous system remarkably well. 3. Lavender for Healing Wounds: Surprisingly, lavender aids in the healing of wounds. In a 2016 study, researchers discovered that lavender oil promotes the healing of skin tissue. For small wounds, mix 3 or 4 drops of lavender oil with coconut oil and apply the mixture with a cotton ball. 4. Headache Relief and Migraine Support: Lavender is a go-to essential oil for headaches. Dilute it in coconut oil and rub it on your temples. Massaging your face and scalp during this process can enhance the experience. Studies have shown that lavender therapy can reduce headaches, making it a natural solution. 5. Lavender for Skin Conditions and Stress Relief: Research suggests that lavender oil is effective for various skin conditions due to its gentle antibacterial properties. Whether applied topically for acne or used in aromatherapy for stress and depression symptoms, lavender offers a holistic approach to well-being. And don't forget the simple pleasures of lavender tea or making lavender bags to enhance your sleep and keep your clothes smelling fresh.

Self Care Practices That Can Buffer Your Nervous System - Right Now

In this episode of the Novice Healing Artist Podcast: Episode #7 Joaquin Roland - "The Self Care Conspirator" - https://joaquinroland.com [https://joaquinroland.com] This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no “brief candle” for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
