About the Plant:

Lavender is an evergreen plant that grows to about 3 feet and produces gorgeous lilac-colored flowers. Lavender has green, woody, upright stems that produce abundant blue-violet flowers. To extract the oil, the flowers are put through a steam distillation process.

Where It Grows:

This lavender is native to the Mediterranean region. Lavender is now cultivated in France, Bulgaria, and Kashmir. Dr. Striecher specializes in finding the perfect French Lavender from the most sustainable source in France.

Traditional Uses and Lore:

Treasured around the world for centuries, Lavender gets its name from the Latin word “lavare,” meaning “to wash,” and was used to repel the fleas that carried the plague.* The colorful herb was sought by ancient Romans, who added Lavender to their baths for its antiseptic qualities and lovely aroma. The scent was thought to encourage amorous feelings in men while preserving the chastity of women.* This inspired unmarried girls to sneak Lavender into the pillows of their love interests and hang their damp linens on Lavender bushes to absorb the fragrance.* Not surprisingly, the oil is prized by perfumeries who want to add depth, complexity, and romance to their blends.*

Other Facts:

  • Scent: Sweet, Light, Floral Aroma with Herbal Notes Throughout
  • Fragrance Note: Middle Note
  • Composition: Linalyl Acetate, Linalool, Lavandulol, Lavandulyl Acetate, Terpineol, Cineol, Limonene, Ocimene, and β-Caryophyllene
  • Family: Lamiaceae Family

Dr. Streicher Says:

Lavender is the great universal healer.* It can help with inflammations, burns, bruises, pain, spasms, restlessness, insomnia and many other nervous irritations.* Its potency is decent for most of these conditions.* However, we have an array of different essential oils that are the “specialists”; they can help with only one or two conditions but in an extremely potent way.* Be sure you are always using 100% pure, unadulterated Lavender Oil, as it is one of the most frequently adulterated essential oils.

    Sweet note in an earthy blend

    Posted by Dallas D. on Feb 20th 2015

    First: I must say that this lavender alone is exquisite. It smells wonderful. Second: I'm brand new to blending. Using this site as a guide, I blended cypress, clary sage, and lavender. I tried it with equal parts of each, and the lavender was too strong, so I added more cypress and clary sage. The result (when diffused) was soothing and mentally stimulating, with layers of scents, like the tastes of fine food.
