A brief history from production manager Lane:
Lavender enjoys the status of being the most popular and versatile of essential oils, and for good reason.
“Lavandula” comes from the latin “lavare” meaning “to wash” or “to bathe” and has been widely used in toiletries and personal care products for centuries.
Additionally lavender’s antiseptic properties are well known where it is used in the swabbing of wounds, treatment of sores, ulcers, burns, scalds and sunburn. Combined with lavender’s antiviral and antibiotic properties it makes an ideal oil to use as an inhalation and chest rub for bronchitis, coughs, colds, excess mucus and chest infections.
Lavender oil can be used for all skin types, helping to balance both oily and dry skins and is utilised in many skin care preparations.
Lavender is beneficial for conditions involving skin inflammation such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, boils and wounds. It can be used as an insect repellant and may also be used to treat insect bites – preventing the itching and scratching.
Lavender is regarded as the first choice in the treatment of insomnia, especially when the insomnia is the result of stress and anxiety.
Lavender has a harmonising effect on the nervous system, exerting either a sedative or stimulating action depending on one’s needs. It can create calm and order out of mental chaos, and help balance our body and mind.
Putting a few drops in a warm bath or oil burner / diffuser is one of the easiest ways to use Lavender oil.
