What is Lavender Essential Oil?

Lavender essential oil has been used both therapeutically and cosmetically since ancient times for calming the mind and body by proving powerful antimicrobial, sedative, antioxidant, anti-depressive properties, and calming.

The ancient Egyptians used as far back as 3000 years in the mummification process and a faint scent was said to be experienced when they first opened King Tut’s tomb in 1993.

The adaptability of this essential oil means that it can blend easily with other oils, especially citrus and floral oils. These include clove, rosemary, pine, peppermint, palmarosa, lemongrass and more. You can create your own massage oils by fusing the lavender with a carrier oil like marula.
