Body and spiritual care
You come across the wild growing lavender (
Lavandula angustifolia) on dry, stony hills in the western Mediterranean area. It also thrives in some areas of central Europe in very sunny places.
On sunny locations it also flourishes in our latitudes. The ethereal oil, which is contained in lavender blooms, has above all a balancing and calming effect. A valuable ethereal oil it is used for the personal hygiene, aroma therapy, as bath additive, perfume, sauna extraction and for the massage.
Lavender Oil is ideal for:
- As a relaxing aromatherapy oil, it can be used in aromatizing lamps.
- Due to its pleasant aroma it is also used as a fragrance or as an indoor fragrance.
- Mixed with a base oil (in avocado oil, almond or jojoba oil) is used for body care and massage.
- As oil in the sauna, mix a few drops with water to put on the heater.
- As bath oil nourishes the skin and provides a relaxing aroma and atmosphere. It is also not sparkling and is suitable for spa.
Essential oils increase the photosensitivity of the skin, so it is not advisable to expose yourself to direct sunlight or tanning booths if oil has been applied to the skin.
