Lavender is one of the world’s oldest remedies for soothing the soul of our body. Throughout history, it has been used in cultures as varied as ancient Egypt and Greece and Medieval Europe. Lavender oil’s gentle and effective spirit make it an ancient go-to oil for washing, anointing the skin, sleepy ceremonies, spiritual purification, daily relaxation rituals, and emotional grace.
“This extremely hardy, weather resistant, sun-loving variety has the most delicate, fine ‘powdery-floral’ fragrance. This is because the ester content of its oil is higher than lavenders from lower elevations…”
