Lavendar Oil – 10ml
Product description
Deriving from the Latin word ‘lavare’, meaning ‘to wash’, Lavender was an important part of Ancient Roman bathing rituals thanks to its potent antibacterial properties. Hunted by the world’s greatest perfumeries, Lavender Oil is nicknamed ‘Blue Gold’: a nod to its treasured place in French culture.
The power of lavender oil was initially discovered by René-Maurice Gattefossé. After an explosion in his laboratory he plunged his burning hand into the nearest container of liquid, which happened to be lavender oil. Gattefossé noted how quickly the pain subsided and how his hand healed with little scarring. He went on to devote his life to the study of Lavender Essential Oil.
Moreover, during World War I, many soldiers carried lavender oil in their first aid kits, using it on the battlefield for its healing and antiseptic properties.
Thanks to a multitude of therapeutic properties, Lavender Essential Oil is one of the most popular essential oils in aromatherapy.
