It’s a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, it can help with the common colds, flu’s, headaches, abrasions, burns, insect bites and stress, sleep issues and anxiety. If you’re sick, have a headache or chest infection, doing an inhalation with 2-3 drops of pure essential oil (L. angustifolia) has been found to kill off the bugs there, and also ease pain and constriction of the area.

Scientific examination has found that lavender was effective against anti-biotic resistant golden Staph, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and VRE (vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis) at concentrations less than 1% (Nelson, 1997a).
