Lavender flowers spread a romantically bitter scent. It’s because of this unique aroma, and its many healing properties, that lavender is so popular. A fresh plant contains around 2-3% essential oils, mostly in the lavander flower. The colours of the beautiful and aromatic petals vary from blue to violet, but they can also be white, pale blue, and even pink.
Lavender’s name stems from the Latin word lavare – to wash. Over time, the lavender aroma has been given many terms – purity, peace, clarity, freshness, classic, harmony, the breath of love.
Cosmetic products with lavender essential oil greatly soothe, balance and strengthen the skin, provide cell recovery, increase blood circulation in the skin, regulate the release of sebum, and fight against acne.
During respiratory virus season, it is recommended that the essential oil of lavender be used in aroma lamps for air purification.
Bathing in lavender infused water will reduce headaches and calm nerves. A few drops will suffice for a bathtub, allowing the body to enjoy the beneficial effects through both the skin and the scent receptors. Lavender is able to give volume to hair, as well as nourishing and strengthening it, making it easier to care for and style.
Aromatic flower pads freshen laundry perfectly and repel unwanted moths.
Lavender also serves as a symbol of love in wedding ceremonies and various magical rituals.
Lehend has it that Adam and Eve, when exiled from Eden, took only lavender with them. Another legend says that lavender got its heavenly scent when Mary hung Jesus’ wet clothes on a lavender bush.
May everyone find their own use for lavender in those moments when their nose senses how pleasant the aroma is.
