I have been using my Premium Starter Kit for months now and a few of the oils instantly became my favorites. Lavender Essential Oil is definitely one oil I use several times a day. I use Lavender Essential Oils for my skin redness, restful sleep, and for calming support.
Everyday Essential Oils
I started with the Young Living premium starter kit because it was the best value and it would give me a chance to experience some of the most common essential oils. Along with the diffuser, the premium starter kit includes the basic ten everyday essential oils: Thieves, Joy, Valor, Purification, Lemon, PanAway, Frankincense, Peppermint, Peace & Calming and Lavender.
I have been using my Essential Oils Pocket Reference to learn all of the different ways to use the Everyday Essential Oils.
Common Uses of Lavender Essential Oil
- Skin (Dry Skin, Rashes, Cuts, Bruises, etc.): I apply a few drops to the area.
- Wound Up: Diffuse Lavender Essential Oil in the Home Diffuser that comes in the Premium Starter Kit for up to 1 hour 3 times daily.
- Sleep: I add distilled water plus 6 drops of Lavender Essential Oil to the Home Diffuser that comes in the Premium Starter Kit an hour before bed or put a few drops on a cloth and place the cloth inside my pillowcase to calm me before sleep.
- Sunburn: I mix a dime sized chuck of coconut oil with 2 drops of Lavender and apply to the affected area.
- Bug Bites: I apply a few drops to the affected area.
- Jet Lag: I add distilled water plus 6 drops of Lavender Essential Oil to the Home Diffuser that comes in the Premium Starter Kit an hour before bed.

- Cold Sores: Combine one drop of coconut oil with Lavender oil and apply to the affected area

Because I love Lavender Essential Oils so much I decided to giveaway a 15 mL bottle. The good news about essential oils is that a little goes a long way (1-2 drops per application) so the bottles can last quite a while. Due to the cost for me to ship the prize, the Lavender Essential Oil giveaway will be limited to U.S. residents only. Young Living does ship to certain countries outside of the United States so if you would like to try using essential oils consider becoming a distributor/wholesale member.
