Lavender water is so refreshing and it’s long-lasting. It can be used to freshen up the air or try spraying it on your yoga mat or bed sheets. It can even be used to spritz your clothes while ironing. I like to keep a small bottle in my car for cooling off on hot days. Lavender water is for external use only. Do not spray into eyes or other sensitive areas.
Lavender oil has a calming and soothing effect and can relieve tension. It can be effective for headaches and insomnia too. Did you know it also has antibacterial qualities?
Here’s how to make lavender water …
Mix:
2 cups of distilled water
10- 20 drops of lavender essential oil
1/3 cup vodka or Everclear (grain alcohol)
That’s it.
So why the vodka or Everclear? It disperses the oil and water and acts as a preservative. Everclear has extremely high alcohol content.
So why distilled water? Water is a living organism so it is prone to grow bacteria over time. Distilled water can prevent this.
Simply keep it in a spray bottle and enjoy!
PS. Feel free to substitute another essential oil if you prefer.
