Lavender Essential Oil
(Lavandula angustifolia)
is the most versatile of all essential oils.
Lavender essential oil is known as the most popular
and versatile essential oil. It is steam distilled
from Lavandula angustifolia, a perennial, busy
shrub with a flowery top.
The many properties of
lavender essential oil contribute to a vast range
of usage. It is highly regarded as an antiseptic,
anti-inflammatory, for skin care, or as a lovely
fragrance.
Many people appreciate lavender for its aromatic fragrance,
used in soaps, shampoos, and sachets for scenting clothes.
Lavender most likely earned this name because it was frequently used
in baths to help purify the body and spirit.

Interesting Lavender "Healing" History
Following a laboratory explosion that severely
burned his arm, a French scientist named Rene
Gattefosse was the first modern scientist to
document lavender’s ability to promote tissue
regeneration. In 1937 he
published a
book about the effects of the oils
and coined the word Aromatherapy. He went on to set up a business producing oils for use in fragrances
and cosmetics. Around the same time another Frenchman, Albert Couvreur, published
a book on the medicinal uses of essential oils.
A French medical doctor , Jean Valnet, discovered Gattefosse's research and began experimenting with essential oils. Around the same time, Margaret Maury, a French biochemist developed a unique method of applying these oils to the skin with massage. Micheline Arcier, now living in London, studied and worked with Maury and Valnet and their combined techniques created a form of Aromatherapy now used all over the world. Lavender is known as the universal oil which may be beneficial for skin conditions such as burns and rashes.
Today, we use lavender as a tea, to dress wounds,
to induce sleep, ease depression, and reduce
stress. Lavender oil is one of the safest essential
oils and can be used in full strength on the skin.
The benefits of lavender essential oil are limitless.
As we continue to study lavender, additional usage
and efficacy is identified.
