This essence helps us with weight issues. Whether it is a problem of shedding those extra kilos or pounds, or of trying to gain weight, "Italian Lavender" helps us become more aware of the emotions and issues around our weight. Perhaps the relevant issues have to do with self-esteem, perhaps we need those extra kilos for emotional protection. Whatever, the scenario, Italian Lavender gently but powerfully propels us forward in terms of awareness and inner change.

The action of the essence on these inner emotional/mental levels may at times result in a beneficial rebalancing of the energies around the processes of digestion, assimilation, circulation and excretion, to the benefit of weight balance.

 A word of caution: that this essence family taken on its own is not recommended for those with a history of psychiatric or psychological illness. Those who suffer from clinical depression, panic attacks, or persistent anxiety, for example, are best to avoid this essence. If in doubt, seek the advice of your mental healthcare professional.
