If you’ve never used lavender soap before, the first thing you will note is the crisp, clean fragrance. Soaps made with lavender have a light and floral scent. You may not know it, but lavender soap isn’t just used to wash the body. Dishwashing soaps, laundry detergents, and even floor cleaners are produced with lavender essential oils. And lavender isn’t just known for its odor. Its smell gives a relaxed feeling, so many people life to use it to reduce stress in their home.

What Makes it Clean?

You may know that lavender soap has a pleasant and relaxing smell that helps reduce stress, but what makes it so great as a cleaning agent? The Entomology Research Institute of Loyola College has shown that lavender oil is good to use on sunburnt skin or insect bites since it is both antiseptic and antibacterial. Basically, any soap that includes lavender essential oils can be used for healing skin infections. Lavender’s antibacterial properties also mean that it is a natural remedy for scabies and eczema.

Many sicknesses and conditions have been treated with lavender for years. Lavender promotes cell growth and reduces inflammation. When you place lavender essential oils, or even lavender soap, on your skin, you will start healing right away and you will even prevent scars from forming.

Lavender and Stress Relief

When you use lavender soap, you can actually help to relieve your anxiety and stress. That’s right. Psychology Today presented a Charles Stuart University study from Australia that proved that brainwaves are affected by lavender, creating a feeling of relaxation and comfort. That means you could use the lavender soap a bit before bedtime to get a restful sleep. It can also be used with small children to help them relax if they, too, are anxious or too rambunctious.

Many Uses for Lavender Soaps

Soap is clearly not the only use for lavender. It’s also found in teas and it’s heavily used in aromatherapy to help with stress-relief and anxiety-relief. Did you know that fleas are repelled by lavender too? Soaps that are made with lavender essential oils can be used to not only repel fleas, but kill them. You can even put a few drops of lavender into your pet’s shampoo as a worry free and effective flea treatment.

Anti-Aging Effects

Anti-aging treatments many times make use of lavender too. The new cell growth that lavender encourages is a method to have your skin appear younger again. Lavender soaps leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed, and they neutralize dry and oily skin at the same time.

Now you understand all the benefits of lavender soap. It is top quality soap; it smells delightful and is anti-bacterial. Tack onto that the fact that it can heal some skin conditions and helps reduce stress and it should be obvious that using lavender soap in your home is a good choice. Your house will be a calmer place where the aromatic scent of lavender greets you..
