Lavender Pure Essential Oil

About this product

The word ‘aromatherapy’ was first used in the 1920’s by French chemist Rene Maurice Gattefossé, following a lucky accident in his laboratory. Gattefossé set his arm on fire during one of his experiments and in a panic, dipped the burn in to the nearest available cool liquid – in this case, lavender essential oil. He immediately noticed the cooling and soothing properties of the oil, striking a long-term interest in essential oils in medicinal treatments. Lavender today is used in a multitude of natural health products and cosmetics and is one of the most popular essential oils in the practice of aromatherapy.
