Personally, I think Lavender is so versatile it can be used in nearly any recipe or project. I include some lavender in most all of my favorite essential oil blends.

Lavender is most commonly blended with:

  • Rosewood
  • Rosemary
  • Citrus essential oils
  • Tea Tree
  • Patchouli
  • Bergamot
  • Ylang-ylang
I also used it in several of my Essential Oil Blends, including some of my Mosquito Repelling Essential Oil Blends. and don't forget to try using Lavender all by itself!
