THE STORY OF LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL

Lavandula angustifolia
(Origin France/Flower)

With a fresh and floral aroma, Lavender is like a nurturing embrace that is both relaxing and comforting to the mind, body and spirit.  Embrace the nurturing of Lavender's floral and deliciously citrus scent.

Native to the Mediterranean region, Lavender use has been documented going back 2500 years.  It has been traditionally used by the ancient Greeks, Persians and Romans as a perfume, in their bathing and to clear and freshen the air.  Derived from the Latin word lavera "to wash" because of its use by the Romans who sprinkled the flowers in their baths.

Versatile and gentle, it can be used for anything from insect bites and stings to acne and is soothing to mild burns.  It can be used in a linen spray to repel insects, room freshener or to breathe a relaxing aroma throughout the day when stress levels may be high to promote a general sense of calm and well being.
