The Ancient Roots: Lavender in Ayurvedic Healing

In India, the traditional ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda has recognized the unique therapeutic value of lavender for thousands of years. Ancient Sanskrit texts, which are the base of this medical tradition, call lavender variants such as 'Spikenard' or 'Pundarika'. Appearing as early as during the period of Vedas from 1500 to 500 BCE, scholars made use of this aromatic herb in order to create complex formulas designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit.

According to Ayurveda, only a perfect balance of three subtle physiological energies called Doshas (Vata, air and space; Pitta, fire and water; Kapha, earth and water) ensures good health condition and well-being of a person.

Lavender perfectly combines with this holistic approach because of its cooling, light, and slightly drying properties. Additionally, its grounding nature helps to calm down the erratic and anxious actions of aggravated Vata dosha.

Science and Spirituality: Calming the Nervous System

Scientific research confirms what has been known by eastern traditional doctors for centuries. Inhaling the scent of pure lavender essential oil triggers its interaction with the olfactory system, sending signals to the limbic system. The Limbic system is the brain structure responsible for managing emotions, memory, and nervous system reactions.

Clinical research shows that lavender changes brain activity by interacting with GABA neurotransmitters in order to reduce the level of stress and nervous tension. These changes are scientifically proven through multiple clinical studies and provide numerous physical and emotional benefits:

• Reduction of anxiety: A study conducted in 2005 and published in Physiology & Behavior showed that lavender scent diffusion reduces anxiety and boosts up moods of patients awaiting for their dental treatments. There are other clinical trials confirming the effectiveness of lavender to reduce postpartum anxiety and depression in high-risk mothers.

• Relief from insomnia: According to research from the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine, combining sleep hygiene with lavender aromatherapy allows to increase sleep depth and improve sleep quality, helping students and the elderly population to gain higher alertness in daytime.

• Cardiovascular benefits: Inhaling the oil temporarily decreases elevated heart rates and lowers blood pressure, switching the body out of the state of excessive nervous tension ("fight-or-flight") and into relaxation mode.

Cleansing Your Subtle Body: Lavender and the Aura

Apart from the proven biological effect on our anatomy, lavender is crucial for the process of subtle energy healing as it purifies our aura. Aura is an energetic field surrounding our physical body and reflecting our current state of mind, emotions, and spirit. Negative influences of stress, bad environment, and daily interactions lead to accumulation of the energy in our aura making us emotionally exhausted, stagnant, and spiritually detached.

• Energy Effect: Due to the high frequency of lavender, this plant acts like an energetic broom. It clears up our aura from the stagnant energy, mends minor tears in our aura caused by trauma and panic, and protects our aura from external influences.

When your aura is cleansed and balanced, you automatically feel the sense of boundaries, intuitive clarity, and deep inner peace. Using lavender you can easily get rid of the heavy shield of constant worries, making space for your inner light to shine.

Practical Applications for Everyday Energy Healing

Incorporating the healing qualities of lavender into your everyday life could not be easier! All you need to do is follow a few simple rules, and you will use this herb to balance your mental processes and make your energetic body clean.

1. Aromatherapy and Diffusing Everyday

The easiest way to change the vibe of your room and your brain is inhalation. Put 3-4 drops of pure lavender essential oil into the water diffuser in your bedroom or office. As the mist fills the air, it establishes a serene sanctuary that helps office workers unwind after a demanding shift and helps students focus without exam-related panic

2. Aura Cleansing Bath

After a difficult day, take yourself a nice bath that will wash away all your physical and psychological tiredness. As essential oils do not combine well with water, first dilute the few drops of lavender oil in the carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba, or fractioned coconut oil), and then add it into your bath water. Such an easy procedure will help to relax your muscles, relieve tension headache and will cleanse your energetic body as well.

3. Lavender Oil in Ayurvedic Self-Massage

The traditional Ayurvedic self-massage called Abhyanga can be improved by including lavender to the massage oil. Rubbing your neck, shoulder and foot with this oil will increase circulation, help to relax physically and will connect your spiritual and physical bodies energetically. Applying a small amount of the diluted oil to your pulse points like wrists and the area behind your ears will provide you with a constant calmness during the whole day.

4. Ayurvedic Eating

As we know from Ayurveda, true health is what you eat. You can use small amounts of culinary lavender flowers to add floral taste to your herbal tea, summer salad or raw honey. Drink a warm cup of lavender and chamomile herbal tea just before going to bed to relax your digestive system and send a signal to your brain that it is the time to go to sleep.

5. Space Smudging and Aura Spraying for Meditation

To perform quick energetic cleansing without using water, you can create a special lavender aura spray. Put several drops of pure lavender essential oil together with distilled water and some witch hazel in the dark spray bottle. Spray this mixture above your head and around yourself before starting your yoga, meditation or breathing exercises. As the droplets of oil fall down from your aura, they dissolve all negative vibrations and clarify your personal space.
