Active Ingredients in Lavender

Hey everyone hope you are all having a great day today, so I havnt posted in a few days. Its just been really crazy around here. Anyway today we are going to talk about  the active ingredients of Lavender. The combination of the following ingredients contribute to its legendary healing powers.

Alcohol
Lavender oil contains up to 50% of the alcohol linalol. Linalol helps to kill bacteria & viruses. It also helps to heal burns, wounds & sores.

Ketones
Ketones are compunds that help to relieve pain, build new tissues & reduce inflammation. They are also known to have a sleep inducing effect. Ketones can be toxic, so lavender that contains above 35% should be avoided. Diabetics, epileptics & pregnant women should avoid lavender oils completely.

Esters
Esters are compounds that are known to ease swelling & soreness, prevent muscle spasms, fight fungal infections & prevent scarring. They also help to regulate your moods, preventing you from feeling depression & hysteria.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for some great ways to use Lavender oil. As I said before Lavender is one of my favorite scents & I have tried all these ways, in fact I use them regularly, I can assure you that they work.
