By balancing \"wind\", lavender oil will assist in slowing down the overly active mind and will support tranquility and peacefulness. By balancing \"fire\", lavender oil will decrease excess heat in the body and mind and will support clarity and brightness of presence. By balancing \"phlegm\", lavender oil helps to lighten tendencies toward sluggishness, complacency and melancholy. Lavender is generally mood-uplifting and supports heightened energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInteresting Lavender Essential Oil Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern aromatherapy as we know it owes its success in large part to the lavender plant. Though plants and essential oils have been used therapeutically for millennia, the term \"aromatherapy\" was not coined until 1937 by French chemist and perfumer, Rene Maurice Gattefosse. After burning himself badly in his laboratory, Gattefosse instinctively plunged his burned hand into the first available liquid compound, which happened to be lavender essential oil. According to Gattefosse, it not only immediately eased his pain but also helped heal his hand without any sign of infection or scar. Gattefosse was not a believer in the natural health movement per se, but this experience caused him to be interested in the therapeutic properties of essential oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is commonly believed that the word lavender comes from the Latin word \"lavare\", meaning \"to wash\", because the Romans routinely used lavender in perfumed oils for bathing. In\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Story of Lavender\u003c\/em\u003e, however, author Sally Festing states that the word lavender most certainly did not come from \"lavare\", but from \"livendula\", which is Latin for \"livid\" or \"bluish\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThought to have been originally cultivated in Arabia, lavender may have been carried by Greek traders to the islands off the southern coast of France as early as 600 BC. Lavender’s native range now extends across the Canary Islands, North and East Africa, southern Europe and the Mediterranean and into certain regions of the Middle East and India. Though native to the Mediterranean region, it is now cultivated on every continent. True lavender grows at high altitudes above 2,000 ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with ancient Persians, lavender has been used in many cultures in bathing rituals for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks used the herb to treat throat infections and to ease constipation. European herbalists employed it in hydrosol form as a head lice treatment. Lavender was grown in European herb gardens in the Middle Ages, and was said to \"comfort the stomach and the soul.\" The herb was also used in mummification processes in ancient Egypt, and was found in King Tutankhamen’s tomb. A favorite for strewing on the floor as it releases a wonderful aroma when crushed underfoot, lavender is often used these days in toilet water, as an insecticide or in sachets to be placed amongst linens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLavender is the most popular, and therefore the most adulterated, of all essential oils. It is estimated that 90% of all products labeled \"lavender essential oil\" are either derived from another species such as lavandin, or are diluted, or are outright synthetic fabrications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joy Journey of You","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50394230194279,"sku":"321","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0364\/9895\/files\/pi-lavender-bulgaria-oil-desk.jpg?v=1791389231","url":"https:\/\/www.jodihershey.com\/products\/lavender-bulgaria-essential-oil","provider":"Jodi Hershey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
