Tri Nature Customer & Naturopathy Student Ashlee Adam raves about Lavender Essential Oil. Here’s why she loves it:

Lavender oil is the oil I use most! It’s the best all-rounder oil, great for so many things! We use it for treating cuts and burns, as it has antimicrobial properties. Great for relieving stress and anxiety and will improve sleep, I also use it every day in my skincare routine along with frankincense, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability, to help reduce the signs of ageing. Just add a few drops to your daily moisturiser or precious facial oil!” – Ashlee A.
