Lavender is one of the most commonly used of all essential oils.  It can be both relaxing and stimulating.  It is a powerful antiseptic and healer, and it calms, refreshes, invigorates and lifts the spirits.

It is excellent for tension, tiredness or depression, skin problems and aches and pains.  Because it is so gentle, it is one of the few oils that may be applied undiluted to burnt skin or insect bites.
