Our Lavender Essential Oil

Our Lavender Essential Oil is the highest-grade oil available and it is the only fragrance used in our natural Lavender skin care products. The general benefits of Lavender are relaxation, rejuvenation, health and well being, and aromatherapy. Either the blossoms or the essential oil may be used as aromatherapy, where the aroma is beneficial for headaches and as an aid in falling asleep as it is calming and relaxing. Lavender Essential Oil is additionally known to be an all-purpose essential oil for skin care. Its effect is antibacterial, pain relieving, healing for wounds, soothing for skin problems, deodorizing, antiseptic, fungicidal, insect repelling, rejuvenating, and anti-inflammatory. It may be used to treat all types of skin and is effective for acne and oily hair (as it regulates sebum production), itchy skin, hand care, cracked skin, bruises, shock injuries (in ice-cold compresses), acne scars, blisters, abscesses, eczema, wounds, and burns. It has also been used for nerves, migraines, headaches, tension, emotional stress, sore muscles or tense muscles.

General information on essential oils. Essential oils are frequently referred to as the "life force" of plants. Unlike fatty oils, these "essential" oils are volatile, highly concentrated, substances extracted from flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, bark, resin or fruit rinds. The amount of essential oils found in these plants can be anywhere from 0.01 percent to 10 percent of the total. This is why tons of plant material are required for just a few hundred pounds of oil. These oils have potent anti-microbial factors, having 200-300 therapeutic constituents. Beware of imitations. Essential oils cannot be substituted with synthetics. Only pure oils contain a full spectrum of compounds that cheap imitations simply cannot duplicate.

Essential oils have unique properties that have been prized worldwide for thousands of years, being used therapeutically in early Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Indian and Chinese civilizations. Often the secrets of plant aromas were reserved for kings or other favored elite. For hundreds of years, extensive trade routes became established to transport perfumed ointments, resins, oils and spices throughout the ancient world.

Lavender Hydrosol 

Hydrosols are produced naturally during the steam distillation of essential oils. We sell our 100% pure and natural with nothing added Lavender Hydrosol as Lavender Mist. The hydrosol accounts for the water-soluble plant molecules that also retain healing energy from the properties of the plants that do not form an oil residue. There is a certain percentage of the essential oil still remaining in the hydrosol that maintains the aromatic properties and milder benefits of the essential oil. Emotionally and physically balancing, Lavender Hydrosol can be helpful from minor scrapes to sleepless nights. It is beneficial for people with sensitive, damaged, normal, oily or combo skin. Lavender is a versatile regenerative Hydrosol and one everyone can benefit from. Use in a facial, as a toner, pillow spray, face wash/cleanser, baby wipe, calming spray, sunburn soother, or air freshener. It can also be poured in the bath to make a gentle fragrance with therapeutic properties. Soak a small handkerchief for use as a compress for sports injuries or bumps and sprains. As a mild perfume ingredient it has many uses sprayed directly onto the skin or can be used as a rinse for delicately scented hair. Try it in a humidifier or in a foot spa. Spray it on cotton sheets, table linen, and ironing clothes. Use as disinfectants for wiping surfaces or washing. It may also be used in an aromatherapy burner instead of oil.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy means a therapy using aromas. The aromas come from the plant kingdom flowers, trees, bushes, and herbs. The relevant part of the plant (the stems and flowers of lavender, the wood of the sandalwood tree; the petals of the rose; the peel of the lemon; the leaves of rosemary bushes; berries of the juniper tree, etc) is put through a process of distillation, where the volatile, odiferous substance is captured. It is this liquid that is known as an essential oil. Essential oils have many uses, although our sense of smell, being linked to our emotions, plays the largest part in recognizing the power of aromatherapy and it is here where we can discover how certain essences have the power to lift depression, or which essences have a calming effect on troubled emotions. Aromatherapy is a mixture of aromas, massage and herbal healing remedies. Extracted from herbs and flowers, aromatic essential oils have been used for centuries to heal and beautify, offering a gentle yet effective alternative in the treatment of illnesses, stress, and imbalance.

Early in the 20th century a French chemist, Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, began studying what he called "aromatherapy." After severely burning his arm in a laboratory accident, he thrust the arm into the nearest liquid, which happened to be a tub of lavender oil. Surprised by the quick healing that followed, Dr. Gattefosse spent the remainder of his life researching the value of essential oils. His success made aromatherapy popular, and it became well known in Europe.
An essential oil is inhaled and directed by the olfactory system to the limbic system of the brain. In turn, the brain responds to the particular scent affecting our emotions and chemical balance. Used topically, essential oils are also absorbed by the skin and carried throughout the body via the circulatory system to reach all internal organs.
