10 ml Bulgarian lavender essential oil

Latin name: Lavandula Angustifolia. Plant part used: Flowering tips. Source: Bulgaria. Extraction method: Steam distillation. Bulgarian lavender essential oil is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aromatic compounds, steam distilled from the lavender plant. Lavender has been used for centuries to heal various ailments, from minor cuts, bruises, and burns to chronic diseases such as rheumatism, asthma, and dermatitis. The immediate appeal and use of lavender essential oil lies in the perfume industry for its fresh, sweet, and slightly fruity-floral scent. This essential oil, like most others, is usually used mixed with a base or carrier oil such as sweet almond, grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, and others, unless it is for bathing, in which case you can simply add a few drops to your bathwater. Use this oil for a pleasant fragrance or aromatherapy with an aroma burner or vaporizer. In aromatherapy, it is often used to combat depression, stress, and fatigue. Always consult a licensed physician when using lavender essential oil medicinally or for aromatherapy.
