Pendant in Fossil Wood

It strengthens self-confidence and gives you the great gift of calm and concentration.

This stone is often recommended to creative people seeking a new source of inspiration.

This stone is not born as such, but as buried wood. It can crystallize when subjected to the action of silica, which moves through the soil in aqueous solutions.

Plant fibers can turn into quartz or opal. In the former case, it will have a trigonal crystal system. In the latter, an amorphous crystal system. In practice, the wood is covered with minerals, which over time wear it away and replace it.

This stone has been appreciated for many centuries. Imagine that 4,300 years ago it was worshipped by the Etruscans. Many artifacts have been found to attest to this. Some legends say that fossilized or silicified wood comes from the bones of giants.

Its color ranges from brown to yellowish.

Delivered with a black cotton cord.

Herbal Properties of Lavender

Lavender flowers are used mainly for their mildly sedative properties and for their antispasmodic properties, particularly on the smooth muscle of the digestive tract and bronchial tree.

Lavender essential oil, on the other hand, is used externally: obtained by distilling the flowers, it is credited with excellent anti-inflammatory properties.

Lavender is attributed with numerous activities: sedative, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and even cholesterol-lowering. More precisely, all these properties are attributable to the essential oil extracted from the plant.

According to one study, the anti-inflammatory action of lavender essential oil would result from the interference of some of its components with the activity of phospholipase C. Furthermore, the same study has shown that the aforementioned essential oil is able to exert an antinociceptive action very similar to that exerted by tramadol (an opioid analgesic), thus also reducing pain.

Another study, however, has shown that lavender essential oil is able to reduce the inflammatory component that characterizes allergic reactions by inhibiting mast cell degranulation, thus inhibiting the release of histamine.

The antimicrobial properties of the essential oil, on the other hand, have been highlighted by several studies that have shown how several of its components can be used as potentially effective bactericides against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strains. Furthermore, lavender essential oil - and, in particular, the linalool contained in it - has been shown to also possess acaricidal properties, as well as antifungal properties in vitro.

Thanks to its antimicrobial action, in the herbal and cosmetic fields, lavender essential oil is often used externally to provide relief and bring improvements in the presence of skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, or eczema, and to reduce irritation and redness.

Some research has also highlighted the potential cholesterol-lowering properties of lavender essential oil. Properties that seem to be exerted through the inhibition of the liver enzyme hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (or HMG-CoA), one of the enzymes involved in cholesterol synthesis. More specifically, it seems that this inhibition is due to the limonene and perill alcohol contained within the same essential oil. Furthermore, the potential anti-tumor properties of perill alcohol are also being investigated.

Regarding the activity of lavender essential oil at the gastrointestinal level - in addition to exerting an antispasmodic action - it is also endowed with carminative properties that, therefore, make it a useful remedy to counteract flatulence and colic.

The sedative activity performed by lavender essential oil seems to be able to be carried out by simple inhalation (aromatherapy).

Finally, lavender oil has shown itself to be effective, when used externally, in counteracting minor circulatory disorders.

In light of what has just been said, it will therefore not surprise you how lavender essential oil is used by the herbalist for the treatment of disorders such as restlessness, insomnia, and some digestive disorders.

Lavender for Restlessness and Insomnia

As mentioned above, lavender essential oil can be used both internally and externally (aromatherapy) to counteract restlessness, agitation, and the insomnia associated with them.

Generally, it is recommended to take 2-4 drops of essential oil daily, properly diluted. In any case, numerous preparations containing lavender essential oil are available on the market; therefore, for the intake of the product, it is recommended to follow the instructions reported on the label, on the packaging, or on the package insert of the preparation you wish to use.

Lavender for Digestive Disorders

By virtue of the carminative and antispasmodic properties exerted on the gastrointestinal tract, lavender can be used for the treatment of minor digestive disorders, flatulence, and colic.

In this case too, the dose of essential oil usually recommended to take is 2-4 drops daily, after dilution. In any case, we remind you again that it is necessary to adhere to the instructions provided by the manufacturing company and reported on the packaging, on the label, or on the package insert of the preparation you intend to use.

Lavender to counteract Circulatory Disorders

Lavender essential oil used externally seems to be effective in the treatment of some circulatory disorders. For this reason, it is not uncommon for it to be used in a particular type of spa treatment called balneotherapy.

In this particular form of spa treatment, lavender essential oil is added to the thermal water (usually, at a temperature around 38°) in which the patient will then immerse themselves.

Before undergoing balneotherapy sessions, it is always appropriate to ask for the advice of your doctor.

Use of the resin: to burn it, charcoal pads must be used. They must be lit with a flame from a lighter or stove, so it is recommended to use pliers or similar to avoid unpleasant burns. When the charcoal begins to light up across the entire surface, it is time to insert it into the burner bowl to burn the resin and add the resin itself.

Experts recommend putting a little sand around the essential oil burner bowl to help it dissipate heat better.
