For Spiritual Healing and Growth
Lavender needs to be your go-to oil for any spiritual healing you may need. Use it to help you see clearly, release blocks, and heal any past hurts or traumas that may keep you from reaching spiritual enlightenment. It will open you up to possibilities you may have never imagined.
Create an Over-all Sense of Well-Being

Now that you know the amazing spiritual benefits of lavender essential oil there are a few things you should know before you pick up a bottle to use. So here a few tips to make sure you get a quality oil that will bring about the spiritual benefits you are looking for.
Types of Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender tends to get lumped into one category, however, there are several types and species. The two primary types of lavender are Lavender Greece and Lavender Bulgaria. Both are the Lavandula angustifolia plant and both have the same calming and beneficial effects. There are also other types of lavender and lavender blends that you may find useful. Choose the one you like the best.
Lavender Bulgaria is the traditional type of Lavender essential oil. It has a shaper, heavier, richer, and more herbaceous scent than the other Lavender varieties. There is a possibility this strain of lavender may induce deeper relaxation and more restful sleep.
Lavender Greece has a sweeter and more floral scent. It tends to be a familiar lavender scent and is preferred by many people. As the writers over at Eden’s Garden put it Lavender Greece is like lavender “with a dreamy twist.”
French Lavender is similar to Lavender Bulgaria but has a more intense aroma with balsamic undertones.
Lavender Spike will give you a lovely traditional lavender scent topped with a cooling, camphoraceous quality that is similar to peppermint, eucalyptus, and melaleuca.
Lavender Fine, grown in the highest altitudes of France, has an elegant aroma that is fresh, floral, and herbaceous topped with silky, creamy notes to round it out.
Lavender Around the World is a combination of Lavender oils grown in India, China, France, Bulgaria, and Greece bringing the therapeutic, spiritual, and aromatic benefits of Lavender varieties from all around the world together into one. Why choose just one, when you can get them all?

Purity and Quality of Essential Oils
When using essential oils be sure to get pure, quality oils. Many cheaper oils, like those found in grocery and health food stores, smell great but are full of synthetics. You want an oil that is pure and extracted without chemicals to ensure you are receiving the benefits essential oils can offer. Otherwise, you’re probably just getting a nice smelling perfume.
Precautions:
Lavender is a very gentle oil and is generally considered safe for both adults and children. However, always use essential oils safely. Do your research and test on a small area of skin before using large applications.
To prevent skin irritation, dilute the oil in a carrier oil or lotion. Only use essential oils internally under the supervision of a doctor. Follow directions and use only as intended.
