Relaxing, Soothing and Restoring

Lavender Essential oil has many uses and is one of the most popular and well known essential oils. There is a wealth of information available about lavender oil and many books have been written on the subject.   Lavender HA is great for children, always carry a bottle around with you for little emergencies especially when on holiday. It may also relieve pain and itching, as well as speeding up the healing process.

 

I have seen evidence of this

 

(I have seen evidence of this: in the late 90’s we used to sell in Uxbridge at a regular craft market. Over a few months nurses from Uxbridge Hospital were coming to me regularly to buy our French HA Lavender. Eventually, I asked them why … “We are using it with ladies who have had breast surgery, they seem to be healing much quicker and with less scar tissue”)

(In my 50’s I caught Chickenpox. I was very ill. However as soon as possible my wife got me out of bed and made me bath in Lavender and Tea tree. I did not get one spot scar, it also eased the discomfort.)

Most importantly you should realise this key thing:-

  • not all Lavender oils are the same, in many ways.
  • The Oil may be distilled from a different plant variety
  • The plant may be grown in a different location and in a different climate.
  • After distillation the resulting oil may be adulterated.
  • The oil may be a blend of different Lavenders (not from one single crop)

All of these aspects will change the nature and therapeutic properties of your oil, not to mention the price.

For example the ‘quality’ of a lavandin oil will be totally different from a High Altitude oil. the Lavandin oil may smell more like Rosemary or Eucalyptus because of the high camphor content. These oils will be stimulating (not relax you) and may have very little benefit on a skin rash or scar. Some suppliers do not tell you the source of their oil, perhaps for their own reasons or just plain ignorance. Therefore you will notice huge differences in the price paid for any pure essential oil. Do some research and notice that there are a group of reputable companies who’s prices for a product are fairly similar.
