Lavender True (Organic)

Absolute Essential Lavender True (Organic) makes a wonderful all-rounder. It is deeply calming - good for restful sleep, and when there is emotional conflict and nervous tension. Lavender is gentle enough to be applied directly to the skin, (for natural healing or to pulse points as a rescue response). Its gentle action makes it ideal for children and the elderly. 

Lavender is a flowering shrub native to the Mediterranean region. This member of the Lavender family is popular with herbalists and aromatherapists alike. It's a highly versatile variety renowned for its aroma, ornamental beauty and broad use in supporting relaxation. The distillation of Lavandula angustifolia is widely considered an absolute essential in the home. 

Lavender has been widely used for over 2500 years for both its rich aroma and health supporting properties. The Romans used it to scent their public bathhouses and Cleopatra was said to use as a perfume. In Medieval and Renaissance Europe washerwomen were known as lavenders because they spread their laundry over lavender bushes to dry.
