This might surprise some of you, but try brushing your teeth with the Australian Lavender! Take four to six neat drops in a small glass container and dip your toothbrush. Now, do not swallow it! But when you expel it, you will notice the melted plaque and other stuck on guck that has been brushed loose. You can mix a drop of peppermint and Eucalyptus, but it works better neat. People often comment on my smile now!
I am thankful for New Directions Aromatics and the quality oils they provide and am grateful to be able to share this finding!
Happy brushing.

I've bought different lavenders from NDA, and I also find this one surprisingly nice. It's very similar to French lavender or Bulgarian lavender. A very classy scent with enough balance of sweetness and herbal tones.

I find this lavender has an herbal/woodsy/spicy scent. I dont find it sweet at all. I bought all the lavenders to see which one I liked best. For me, this one is not at the top of the list, I like my lavenders on the sweet side.

I purchased Lavendar for its therapeutic effects, but was more than pleasantly surprised by this top quality oil's clean, fresh, and intoxicating scent. I put two or three drops in my aromatherapy bubble bath and then sit back and relax into fragrant and therapeutic oblivion! I also use it in my body lotions, and even in my toner. It's great!
