SMELLS LIKE A FIELD OF LAVENDER
If there is only one oil to keep in your home, we would recommend Lavender. This pure essential oil is one of the most popular and versatile oils, best known for its incredible sleep support, calming effects, and skin nourishment. Unlike some floral extracts, French lavender is pleasantly floral while not overpowering, making this natural oil perfect for winding down and a calming bedtime routine.
Lavender use has been documented for over 2500 years, beginning in ancient Egypt where it was used for mummification and perfume. In Rome, lavender was widely used in cooking, bathing, and scenting the air, while the ancient Greeks relied on it to fight insomnia and backaches. During Medieval France, clothes were washed in lavender and hung to dry on lavender bushes, using the plant to scent drawers, perfume the air, ward off infection, and heal wounds. This legendary plant is even referred to in the Bible by the name “spikenard” and noted as a costly ointment.
Today, this organic single oil is cultivated commercially in France, England, and Italy, to name a few. Lavender is truly a magical plant, full of sweet fragrance and therapeutic in nature. It remains highly popular in the perfumery industry, soap making, household cleaning products, and deodorizers, cherished everywhere for its powerful calming effects and deep skin nourishment.
