LAVENDER, VERA
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.*
Pure Lavender oil is one of the most versatile aromatherapy oils and is a ‘must-have’ for the home first-aid kit. It is extremely beneficial for a wide variety of ailments ranging from aches, pains, and skin complaints to colds & flu, stress, headaches, and insomnia.*
Lavender, vera has a calming scent that makes it an excellent tonic for the nervous system. It helps with headaches and migraines, anxiety, depression, and emotional stress.*
Lavender, vera also has many benefits to the skin and is especially regenerative for older skin, helping with wrinkles. It is also very effective when used to kill lice, lice eggs, and nits.*
