LAVENDER
lavandula angustifolia {10ml}
Product Summary
Lavender, vera is an increasingly rare and valuable essential oil. Grown and wild harvested from high in the mountains, it is becoming scarce due to weather and disease. It can be used in the same manner as Lavender, fine, but has an added benefit of increased ability to work at the emotional and energetic levels in a way that far exceeds other varieties of Lavender.*
Lavender, vera (High Altitude) essential oil has the finest aroma of all Lavender oils. It is grown at high altitude, which produces a higher ester content in the oil (50-52%). It is primarily these esters that give Lavender, vera its wonderful aroma.*
