However, the most widespread application of lavender is as an essential oil, to which there are three different ways to take advantage of it:

• Massage oil Dilute 2 ml (20 drops) of essential oil in 10 ml of base oil to relieve muscle aches. Rub the temples and neck in case of tension headaches or when you perceive the least sign of migraine.
