Lavender is a hardy shrub that grows on barren, infertile land and in mountainous zones. Neither hot sunshine nor cold winter storms can cause damage.
Lavender blooms from July to August. The flower panicle is cut around noon as it is at this time of the day when the content of essential oil is at the maximum.150-160kg of plant is required to produce 1kg of essence. Lavender originates from Persia and Southern France (Province). Today it grows all around the Mediterranean, however, it is cultivated mainly in France where there is also the largest quantity of wild lavender. Authentic lavender essence is very expensive due to its long distillation process. Cheap ‘lavender oil’ is more likely to be ‘lavandin’ and often mislabeled as lavender. The wild plants from the mountains have better curing properties then the cultivated ones from lower areas and therefore in aromatherapy the oil of the wild lavender is preferred. This plant has multiple benefits. Lavender oils helps people suffering from strong emotions and therefore looking for a calming oil. It is therefore often used in psychological aromatherapy to treat nervousness, sleeplessness, stress, depression, fears and sensitiveness. The essence can both stimulate and regenerate our nervous system but also relax and calm it.

It can also be used to treat Insect stings.
