Lavender is a highly prized plant, and thanks to this YouTube tutorial , you can make homemade lavender oil from it. 

It smells nice, has a relaxing effect and favors the skin.

Lavender is used as an effective natural repellant, helps repel moths from the wardrobe, you can find it in cosmetics, and thanks to its strong smell, it is also used as an air freshener.

Lavender flowers are mainly used to make the oil, but you can also use the leaves.

The flowers should be collected on hot days, because then they contain the most essential oils. 

TIP: If you do not have the opportunity to pick fresh lavender flowers, you can also use dried ones. 

We need:

fresh or dried lavender flowers

a container with a lid (maybe a jam jar)

neutral oil (no strong smell) – almond oil is best

Preparation:

1. Press the lavender flowers into a jar as much as they will fit and cover them with the oil so that they are completely submerged.

2. Close the container with a lid and place it in a warm place where it will stand for 3 weeks.

3. Shake the contents of the container daily.

4. After this time, strain the oil and store it in dark bottles.
