The Best Essential Oil: Lavender? Period!

Lavender is a real exception oil among essential. Not only is it very popular as a flower in the garden. It smells really good and what’s more, it harmonizes with so many other different scents like no other. We tell you everything else you need to know.

The oil is obtained by distillation from the panicles of lavender flowers. To distill just one liter of lavender essential oil, you need about 120 kilograms of flowers and leaves. When touching the leaves, the typical lavender scent escapes: pure, fresh, floral with herbaceous undertones.

The ultimate combination talent of essential oils

Lavender not only looks beautiful and smells wonderfully aromatic, but can be used in many ways in the areas of health, cosmetics or even in the culinary arts. It is therefore a true all-rounder. 

Lavender oil is here the most popular form to use the powers of the plant specifically. People have been using lavender as an effective medicinal plant for thousands of years. In naturopathy, lavender stands for relaxation, inner peace and well-being. But lavender can do much more.

While lavender oil has a positive effect on people in many respects. The scent, in contrast, has a rather disturbing effect on insects. Moths or mosquitoes, for example, avoid the scent of Mediterranean plants and can be kept away with their help.

Essential oils are therefore already “mixtures”, so to speak. That is why they usually have several effects at the same time. For example, genuine lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) has

• anti-inflammatory,
• antibacterial,
• antiviral,
• immunostimulant,
• wound-healing,
• analgesic,
• antispasmodic,
• balancing,
• calming and
• anxiety-relieving effects.
