Lavender: A soothing Scent for Everyone- People, kids and even Dogs

When you think of lavender, what comes to mind? A calming cup of tea before bed? A relaxing soak in the tub? Or maybe one of your favorite Scented Serenity Candles, like Yaya or Mary Jane, filling the room with its gentle floral aroma.

Lavender has been cherished for centuries, not just for its beautiful fragrance but also for its incredible benefits. From easing stress to helping little one's sleep soundly and even offering comfort to our four-legged friends, this powerful plant has a lot to offer.

Lavender for People: Stress Relief and Sleep Support

One of lavender's most well-known benefits is its ability to promote relaxation. Studies have shown that inhaling lavender essential oil can reduce anxiety, lower heart rate, and even improve sleep quality. Whether it's through a lavender-scented candle, body oil, or room spray, incorporating this scent into your daily routine can create a peaceful, stress-free environment.

How to Use It:

 Light a Yaya or Mary Jane candle while unwinding after a long day.

 Spritz a lavender-infused room spray like Rue Bear or Serenity before bedtime.

 Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to your pillow or diffuser for a restful night.

 

Lavender for Kids: Creating a Calm and Comforting Atmosphere

For parents, lavender can be a game-changer in helping kids settle down. It has natural calming effects that can ease restlessness, promote better sleep, and even help with mild anxiety. Many parents use lavender in bedtime routines to create a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Kid-Friendly Uses:

 A lavender-scented candle in a safe location during Storytime.

 A light spritz of Rue Bear or Kaleigh Rose room spray in their bedroom before bed.

 A warm bath with a lavender-infused bath oil to wind down.

 

Lavender for Dogs: Easing Anxiety and Restlessness

Did you know that lavender can also help calm anxious or hyperactive dogs? Some pet owners use lavender aromatherapy to help soothe their pups during thunderstorms, car rides, or stressful situations.

For me, lavender has a deep connection to my late dog, Ciara. She was a Yorkie Poo who had a big personality, and like many small dogs, she could get anxious. I discovered that citronella and lavender helped ease her anxiety, and it felt only right to name one of my room sprays after her. Ciara, a blend featuring lavender, is a tribute to her memory and the comfort she found in this soothing scent.

Pet-Safe Tips:

 A small amount of lavender scent in the air (Sage Whisper or Ciara room sprays used lightly in a pet-friendly area).

 A lavender-scented candle (Mary Jane or Yaya), kept out of reach, to create a peaceful home environment.

 A drop of diluted lavender essential oil on a pet bed (only if approved by your vet).
