lavender is an evergreen, woody shrub that can grow up to 3 ft.
It has narrow gray-green leaves with blue flower spikes.
The essential oil is extracted by steam distillation using the fresh flowering tops. Lavender is indigenous to the Mediterranean, but is now grown all over the world. Much of the oil comes from France. Although, both Bulgarian and English lavender smell lovely too. The oil is usually colorless, but may be pale yellow. The scent is a sweet herbaceous floral with a balsamic-woody undertone. Lavender oil blends well with florals, other herbal oils such as marjoram and Clary sage. It also works beautifully with most citrus and some of the lower notes such as Vetiver. It is considered a middle note when used in perfumery with a medium odor intensity. |
Lavender is well-established as a traditional folk remedy and has a familiar scent. It has been used to "comfort the stomach", as a cosmetic water, or to scent linens. The name lavender, comes from the Latin lavandus, meaning to wash. The Romans used it to scent their baths. St. Hildegarde Von Bingen recommended lavender for "maintaining a pure character." It is perhaps the most versatile of all essential oils.
As one of the safest essential oils, lavender, can be applied neat to the skin. However, for children, the elderly or infirmed, or those with sensitive skin, use only diluted with a carrier. Always err on the side of caution and do a patch test to be sure.
In the world of aromatherapy Lavender is considered an adaptogen and it reacts according to the particular needs of the individual. In other words, it is balancing.
Lavender is an oil that belongs in nearly every household. It is great as a first aid remedy for burns and bites. It also provides help with psychological problems, such as insomnia, stress, and depression. It is helpful with children to aid sleep or when a calming effect is needed.
