I apply this on cuts, blemishes and chapped lips. • I add a few drops of Lavender oil to pillows or bedding at bedtime to aid in sleeping • I take it internally - 1 drop to 4 oz of liquid to reduce anxious feelings.* • Add a drop or two for flavorful twist to marinades, baked goods, and desserts.
2 Frankincense
• I dilute 1-2 drops in a carrier oil such as coconut oil. Apply it to reduce appearance of sunspots and scars • I add 1 drop to four ounces of liquid to support healthy cellular function*
