Organic Lavender- Lavandula officinalis
Method of Extraction: Steam distillation of the freshly cut flowering tops and stalks
Description: Fresh, floral, light sweet aroma. Clear to pale yellow in colour. This lavender is grown organically in Provence in France. It is a “population” lavender, which is grown from seeds. It is a fine lavender that grows at higher altitudes. The lowest field that this product grows in is about 800m, and the highest is over 1300m. The high altitude lavender apart from its wonderful fine fragrance, has a higher ester content, making it an excellent therapeutic oil.

Dilute 3-5 drops in 10ml of carrier oil. Do not take internally. Do not use undiluted on the skin. Keep away from children. Keep away from the eyes. Do not use during pregnancy - Do not use Lavender at all during early pregnancy and only with specialist medical advice thereafter.
Suggested uses:
Lavender is the most widely used essential oil in aromatherapy, particularly for its relaxing properties. Try placing two drops on a handkerchief by your pillow when you are trying to sleep.
As Lavender blends very well with many other oils, try the following: 3 drops of Lavender, 3 drops of Mandarin and 1 drop of Geranium in a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil added to a warm bath before a long, relaxing soak.
