This is probably the most known, loved
and recognized essential oil. Here are some facts
and notable benefits.

THE ORIGIN:

The origin of Lavender is believed to be from the Mediterranean, Middle East and India. Its history goes back some 2500 years. Lavender is a flowering plant of the mint family known for its beauty, its sweet floral fragrance and its multiple uses. There are 47 known species of lavender.

The aromatic shrub has a long history of use as a medicine, fragrance and insect repellent.

The essential oil production is long-established in the Provence region of France and also many other countries.

In aromatherapy, Lavender is one of (if not) the most commonly used essential oils due to its general availability, modest price, versatility and universally pleasant scent. Lavender has been an integral part of fine fragrances for centuries – it is a middle to top note, can be used as a perfume modifier, and can also help mask the not so pleasant aroma of oils you want to use in blends. It is a popular addition to skincare preparations of all types, and is a favorite in diffusers, outdoor sprays, massage blends, and in relaxing baths.
