Product Information
French High Altitude Lavender essential oil (latin name Lavendula angustifolia) is our most popular essential oil and is part of the Labiatae plant family. It is clean and fresh with floral top notes and herbaceous undertones.
A perennial, bushy shrub with silvery, grey or green linear leaves and purple, violet or blue spiky flowers, High Altitude Lavender is produced in France on the slopes of Mont Blanc. The higher altitude creates higher natural Linalyl Acetate (Ester) levels. Linalyl Acetate is antiviral and antibacterial meaning the properties of this lavender are higher than standard lavender.
Lavender oil can be blended with any essential oil to enhance the scent of a blend or to increase the therapeutic properties. Citrus, florals and herbs work especially well... Imagination is limitless with Lavender.
Precautions
Some people with low blood pressure may feel a bit dull and drowsy after using the oil. Avoid during pregnancy.
