On Feb. 8, 2012 from 11 am to 2 pm, we'll be in the Whole Body Department sampling SYL's premium lotion & lavender essential oil, which is locally farmed, hand-harvested and hand-distilled in California's Santa Ynez Valley.

Learn what is unique about Lavender oil. Its unequaled natural medicinal properties are known to stimulate and supplement the body's healing forces. It is unmatched by modern pharmaceuticals or other aromatic plants. Myriad uses include itch and pain relief, dry skin, congestion, inflammation and deep relaxation, to name just a few. It can simply be used as a scent or to brighten dull hair and complexion. Lavender soothes the sting of insect bites and acts as a repellant. It is safe to use on small children to the elderly, as well as pets and livestock. Naturally antiseptic and antimicrobial, it can be used for body and domicile. Its signature fragrance is hallmark in all forms, be it oil, dried florets or live plants.
