Lavandula angustifolia, more commonly known as Lavender, is a perennial, evergreen herb that has produced the world's most widely used essential oil for over 2500 years. Lavender, which thrives in dry, rocky, sandy terrain and oceanic climates, can be found in the Mediterranean region, Europe, Africa, the Canary Islands, the Middle East and India.

The name lavender is believed to come from the Latin word "lavare" meaning "to wash" as it is often used in bathrooms and laundry due to its fragrant properties. It is widely used for its relaxing effects on the body with a calming, physically and emotionally balancing fragrance. According to ancient texts, it was used to clean cuts, soothe bruises and skin irritations, and for spiritual healing. Historically, lavender was used for embalming and perfumery by the Egyptians, and for bathing and cooking by the Romans.

Today, there are more than 30 lavender species and hundreds of genotypes, distinguished by their growth patterns and the chemical composition of their essential oils.

Lavender plant growing conditions such as season, climate, humidity levels, cloud cover, and soil quality all contribute to the quality of the distilled essential oil.

The highest quality essential oil is obtained only from the steam distillation of fresh lavender flowers and no other parts of the plant.

It is best to avoid using lavender oil when you are pregnant, taking a medication that can cause drowsiness, or while receiving anesthesia.

Lavender essential oil offers many benefits thanks to the active ingredients it contains.
