Lavender essential oil has a calming scent which makes it an excellent tonic for the nerves and anxiety issues. Therefore, it can also be helpful in treating migraines, headaches, depression, nervous tension and emotional stress. That’s why lavender oil is one of the basic ingredients of this aromatic body scrub. Prepare 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup oil (almond, olive or coconut work best), 1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil, 1/2 teaspoon real vanilla extract, 15 drops lavender essential oil. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Store in an air tight container. Since this recipe doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best if it’s used within a month or two.
