Lavender is a hardy shrub which grows up to one meter in height.

Lavender has a fresh, floral, sweet aroma and is clear to pale yellow in colour. Our Lavender grows at around 1,000 metres in the foothills of the Alps, in the Provence region of France. It has a 44% Linalyl Acetate content indicating a superior quality oil. Its overall Ester content is 50-52%, which gives this exceptionally fine oil its gentle, rounded aroma.

The plant name is derived from the latin 'Lavare' - to wash, probably from its use to cleanse wounds.

Lavender is best known for its relaxing properties; try placing two drops on a handkerchief by your pillow at bedtime.

As Lavender blends very well with many other oils, try the following blend: 3 drops of Lavender, 3 drops of Mandarin and 1 drop of Geranium in a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil, add to a warm bath for a long, relaxing soak.
