More precisely, all these properties are attributable to the essential oil extracted from the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sedative activity performed by lavender essential oil seems to be able to be carried out by simple inhalation (aromatherapy).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, lavender oil has shown itself to be effective, when used externally, in counteracting minor circulatory disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLavender for Restlessness and Insomnia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned above, lavender essential oil can be used both internally and externally (aromatherapy) to counteract restlessness, agitation, and the insomnia associated with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, it is recommended to take 2-4 drops of essential oil daily, properly diluted.

For this reason, it is not uncommon for it to be used in a particular type of spa treatment called balneotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore undergoing balneotherapy sessions, it is always appropriate to ask for the advice of your doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse of the resin:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperts recommend putting a little sand around the essential oil burner bowl to help it dissipate heat better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tempo del Sogno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54839896867157,"sku":"ING-Lavanda25g","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/0849\/9797\/files\/lavanda-inglese-in-resina-25-g.jpg?v=1788458045","url":"https:\/\/tempodelsogno.it\/en\/products\/lavanda-inglese-in-resina-25-g","provider":"Tempo del Sogno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
