But, don’t use lavender oil without consulting your doctor.  Apart from its benefits, lavender has some side effects. Like, it’s not good for pregnant women; it interacts with some medicines and may have bad effects on hormones, especially among boys. So, use lavender oil carefully in all these conditions.
