The base of many perfumes, true lavender essential oil has a delicate scent.
Naturally found in the northern Mediterranean basin, true or officinal lavender has also been cultivated for some years in Bulgaria, Ukraine, and even Australia.
In France, the four producing departments in the South alone account for some 20,000 hectares under cultivation.
This essential oil is HEBBD (Botanically and Biochemically Defined Essential Oil).
Take a maximum of 2 drops of true lavender essential oil 3 times a day on a Puressentiel neutral tablet (or 1 teaspoon of honey, olive oil, or 1/4 of a sugar cube). Do not use pure true lavender essential oil undiluted or mixed with water.
