Johnsons Baby Oil Gel Lavender Is Great!

Advantages: Leaves Baby Silky Smooth To The Touch.
Disadvantages: Must Be Applied Right After Bath Or You Will Have A Slightly Sticky Baby.

...I was given Johnsons Baby Oil Gel Lavender as a gift during my baby shower and, after using the product for the first time I can tell you I will purchase again in the near future The Johnsons Baby Oil Gel Lavender helps lock in moisture so your skin will stay soft and silky smooth all day. This product contains a fast absorbing formula that won't leave a greasy after feel. Also this product has been dermatologist and allergy tested. What I like most about this product is that it helps prevent chafing and getting rid of skin rashes on my baby while leaving her silky smooth. I also love the Lavender scent that isn't overbearing and helps calm baby down before bedtime. What I didn't like about this product was it is best applied right after a bath otherwise you may end up with a slightly sticky baby....

Review of Johnsons Baby Oil Gel Lavender

I swear by lavender oil

Advantages: Has so many uses, smells great and a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Quite expensive and sore if it gets in your eyes.

...I have used lavender oil for just about everything. All my friends think that I am some country bumpkin but when they use it they are eternally grateful. I do have trouble getting to sleep sometimes and all I do is put a little lavender oil on my temples, behind my ears and on my wrists. I then sprinkle a little on my pillow and then I am in the land of nod, very quickly. This works if I am going to sleep or if I wake up in the middle of the night. I also wake up feeling extremely refreshed and rested. I have also used lavender oil as a natural insect repellent. Very useful when it is midge season in Scotland. All you do is add a little to some base oil and put it all over you. It smells so much nicer than commercial stuff and doesnt sting. Lavendar oil is great on cuts and briuses, cleares them up in no time. I also put it in...

Review of Lavender (Lavandula officinalis)

Lovely Lavender

Advantages: pretty smells good
Disadvantages: none

...what I will do in the spring. Mound layering In the spring I shall build up a mound of free draining soil over the base of the plant only leaving the top exposed this will stimulate new shoots to develop roots (I hope) I will keep the base of the plant covered in soil till late summer /autumns then investigate. Then I will cut of the new shoots with roots. And plant and care for the new cuttings hopefully I will have lots of new plants. Pruning After flowering trim lightly with shears Lavender has many a historic use in medicine. It is still used in folk medicines It is advised not to use it in the first three months of pregnancy.

Review of Lavender

Lavenders blue....

Advantages: lots of healing properties
Disadvantages: none

...Lavender There are around twenty eight species of lavender and it is one of the most commonest plants that we all associate with essential oils and bathroom products, when we buy toilet blocks, air freshener, essential oils and room deodorises, you can always find lavender as one of the scents. It can be found in most well established gardens and in garden centres as it is a great plant for adding colour to the garden display. This is a hardy evergreen plant, with fragrant flowers, it grows as a shrub which spread and set into the ground well in most soils and in most area's of the garden. Although they do like a sunny position they will grow well in part shady area's. The plants usually grow to around a 3-4 ft spread so give them room when you position them in the garden. They will flower from July to September and the flowers...

Review of Lavender

Lavender in my English country garden

Advantages: Look and smell lovely. Insects are attracted to the flowers
Disadvantages: Don't last for ever

...scent. It grows to a medium height and can have a slightly wavy shaped stem. Grosso is quite tall, has grey-blue flower heads and is widely grown for its strongly scented oil. It has a strong stem, compact flower and a powerful, long-lasting scent. French Lavender is slightly less hardy and so needs a more sheltered growing position and some protection from frost. Compared to the English lavender these lavenders tend to have denser flower heads shaped like a giant acorn and large, coloured, petal-like bracts. Bracts are an adapted leaf of the flower colour that rises from the stem by the flower head, creating a winged or butterfly effect which to me look like bunny ears. Papillon is a lovely pinky purple French lavender plant which is particularly fragrant. It has spikes of lavender-purple flowers, topped with the long...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Luxury Lavender Bath Oil for all Skin Types!

Advantages: The most amazing aroma, calming, natural product, great quality
Disadvantages: Little pricy

...Dr Hauschka products are really top quality and this bath oil is no exception. It is pure luxury and makes my bath experience truly amazing. Just add a couple of teaspoons (I tend to add more!) to a hot bath and breath in... the smell is absolutely delicious. It isn't the same as putting a few drops of lavender essential oil in your bath (which I also do), as the blended scent of Dr Hauschka's bath oil is so much better - it really is special and worth paying for. The title description above for this product lists it as being 'for red irritated skin', however, according to the Dr Hauschka website it is for 'normal, dry, oily, sensitive or mature' skin types. Which means it's basically good for everyone. It's quite a thick golden coloured oil and is not only lovely on my skin, but with the first scent, my energy levels are...

Review of Dr. Hauschka Lavender Bath (For Red Irritated Skin)

  There's so much more to lavender than you think!

Advantages: Has multiple uses around the home, smells lovely
Disadvantages: Can attract bees (which isn't that bad!)

...cm, edge it with lace to make it look pretty, attach a ribbon loop to one corner, and you have a lavender freshener for a coat hanger! Perfect for clothes that might sit in the wardrobe for months on end (such as winter coats), and they also make great little gifts. Bath bags ~~~~~~~ Lavender can make for a great relaxing and soothing baths, and there is no need to go buying any expensive bubble baths or creams to get its relaxing properties in this way. Not, too different from the above method, the dried flowers can be placed inside a muslin drawstring bag (or a tied muslin cloth or cotton hanky if this is easier). Just add the bag to the bathwater, especially while you add the hot water, try and get it to flow through the bag, as this releases more of the essential oils within the flowers, and hey presto! - one relaxing lavender...

Review of Lavender

dwarf lavender great for small gardens

Advantages: smell and look great
Disadvantages: nothing

...the Folgate and Munstead varieties but can be clipped to size as normal. For cuttings of any Lavender use none flowering shoots that are this years growth which are known as semi -ripe cuttings . These should root readily enough in a well drained mix of sharp sand and compost. I love lavender for use in aromatherapy oils and for it's addictive smell. It is also such an easy plant to grow and such a friend to bees that I don't think anyne should be without it. They are on sale at all good garden retailers....

Review of Lavender

lavender and versatility

Advantages: It has many uses this plant & has been used for many years in different ways
Disadvantages: none

...Having an allotment means hard heavy work and one of the best uses I have found for lavender is against carrot fly. We have a large allotment and every year we lose lots carrots to the fly, it is a real pest. I have found that picking the flower stalks of lavender and crumbling them over the ground after pulling up carrots stops the scent of the carrots escaping and the fly does not get into them. I have done this for 2 years very successfully and really look forward to good veggies now. Further uses of this plant is that it is supposed to help keep greenfly off the roses when planted nearby and it is a lovely sweet scented flower and gorgeous colour, well worth buying but it does go woody and needs to be replaced every couple of years. It does appear to seed itself though....
