Muscle Relaxation Blend

I had extremely sore muscles from a fall that occurred and the benefits of lavender include muscle relaxation so why not after a rough fall to take a lavender bath to not only ease and relax me but also relax my muscles. Lavender also helps with bruising and inflammation.

I used milk as my carrier/dilution because it is all I had at the time and well I ALWAYS have milk. You can't just add oils to water as they don't mix and could cause skin irritation. You want to always add a carrier. The milk is good because the oil binds with the fat of the milk. This dilution is meant for adults not children.

Ingredients: 

4 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

1tsp Whole Milk (fattier the better)

2 Tbs of Milk*

Directions: Fill bath up with luke warm water (children usually dont care for the cold water so why torture) Then pour in your blended mix you created and swoosh around. Have child soak and relax for at least 30 minutes.

*Testimony of using this blend: When I used this blend within about three hours his fever broke and never came back.

*Milk: In alot of my blends you will see milk referenced as my carrier. I like milk due to I always have it available and it is cheaper than some carriers since I blend often. The fat content of the milk is what the oil binds to to help blend it.
