Lavender - The Queen Bee of Essential Oils

Let’s be real—if essential oils had a prom queen, lavender would be walking away with the crown, the sash, AND the sparkliest tiara. She’s that girl. Calming, powerful, and multi-talented, lavender is the OG plant ally every spiritually-minded babe should have in their toolbox. Whether you’re diving deep into spirit work or just trying to catch a decent night’s sleep, lavender’s got your back (and your aura). I mean afterall, I did name my business with her in mind!

1. She’s the Chill Pill in a Bottle

Lavender is the ultimate nervous system whisperer. Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or like Mercury retrograde is trying to ruin your whole life? One whiff of lavender and suddenly your shoulders drop three inches and your breath actually moves. That’s no coincidence—lavender interacts with the brain to calm the amygdala, your emotional center. Translation? Less chaos, more peace. Yes, please.

Lavender is so gentle and easy on the body she's one of the few essential oils you can safely use on the skin undiluted.

2. Sleep Like the Divine Being You Are

Can’t sleep because your brain is too busy replaying that awkward thing you said in 2007? Lavender’s here to tuck you in. Add a drop or two to your pillow, pj's or diffuser and let Lavender lull you into a dream state where Spirit can slide into your dreams with some serious downloads.

You can also use my Clean AF Aura Scrub before bed which has lavender in it to help you get a goodnights sleep with clean energy.

3. Bye-Bye, Bad Vibes

Lavender doesn’t just smell like heaven—it’s also a spiritual powerhouse for clearing energy (which is why it is in the Clean AF Aura Scrub). She’s like your cosmic sage wand with a floral twist. Use lavender essential oil to anoint candles, doorways, or your third eye before meditation. She's the energetic bouncer at the velvet rope of your sacred space, only letting in the vibes you vibe with.

4. Skin Soother & Aura Booster

Did you know lavender is basically skincare magic too? Burns, scrapes, acne—lavender helps heal it all while making your skin glow like you've just had a conversation with your higher self. Bonus? When your skin feels good, your vibe feels even better. Glow up, inside and out.

If you receive a surface burn, simply apply a drop or two of lavender to the wound. It will sting at first, but it will soon take away the heat and pain of the burn. It will also lessen the scarring. If the skin has peeled away from the burn, seek medical attention.

5. Intuition Activation Station

Lavender opens the crown and third eye chakras, making it easier for you to receive messages from your guides, ancestors, and spirit squad. Add a drop to your diffuser before you pull cards or sit in meditation. Watch your intuitive downloads start flowing like moon water on a full moon night.

Pro Witch Tip:

Make a 2 oz lavender spray with half distilled water, half vodka or witch hazel, and 10–15 drops of lavender oil. Boom—instant aura mist, pillow spray, or sacred space freshener. You’re welcome.

So, if you haven’t already given lavender a front-row seat in your magical life, now’s the time. She’s protective, healing, high-vibe, and smells like a walk through Spirit’s garden. What’s not to love?

May you have the day you deserve,
