Botanical Bliss (Lavender Eucalyptus) Lotion Bar

Lavender:

Sleep: The aroma of Lavender has been used for centuries to induce sleep. It is a common recommendation for an alternative/non-drug treatment for insomnia. There have been several research studies demonstrating that Lavender improved regular sleep and, in some instances, Lavender has been able to replace modern sleep aids.

Anxiety, Nervousness and Depression: Lavender is a very calming scent. In small research studies, Lavender has been shown to reduce anxiety and nervousness as well as improve depression symptoms.

Skin Care: Lavender balances the oil production of the skin, making it beneficial for both oily and dry skin. Lavender aids in regulating the production and over-excretion of sebum. Sebum is the oily/waxy substance which the body produces to moisturize the skin. Over-production and excretion of sebum causes oily skin and clogged pores which can lead to acne and other skin issues. Due to the effects Lavender has on sebum, it can reduce acne, especially on the back, forehead and chin where Sebaceous glands are more prevalent. Lavender also promotes skin healing and rejuvenation and can reduce scarring.

Eucalyptus:

Stress: Eucalyptus creates a cooling, refreshing and calming effect on the mind. It helps remove mental sluggishness and invigorates the spirit. It can be effective in relieving stress and reducing anxiety.

Muscle Pain and Stress: Eucalyptus when applied directly to the skin has an anti-inflammatory effect which reduces muscle stress and relieves muscle pain.

Skin Care: Eucalyptus has healing properties when topically applied to the skin. Eucalyptus can promote wound healing and its antiseptic properties can prevent and reduce acne.
