Lavender is the most widely recognized botanical for its essential oil production and is considered the ‘golden botanical’ of Essential Oil Therapy. Lavender is known for its skin healing properties and was traditionally used in folklore medicine for its calming abilities on minor skin issues such as scrapes, burns and insect bites. Lavender is also known to provide beneficial properties that promote relaxation and relieve tension.
There are many types of lavender, and the aromatic changes from one species to another based upon altitude, soil conditions, weather, temperature and other growing conditions. Our French lavender has a very low camphor content with a fresh, yet strong floral aroma.
