Likely one of the most popular essential oils of all time, Lavender essential oil has an enchanting natural chemistry that exhilarates the mind and body. This 100% pure essential oil is commonly known for its calming properties and providing emotional support through lavender aromatherapy. From promoting restful sleep to helping your body's wounds heal with diluted topical application, Lavender- Bulgarian essential oil uses are many.
If you feel agitated, stressed, or having feelings of anxiety calmly inhaling Lavender’s rich and sweet-herbaceous aroma can melt away your worries. By offering balance, Lavender promotes restoration.
Although historical records don’t account for the exact moment Lavender’s many uses were discovered, it’s believed to have been cultivated in Arabia around 600 B.C. 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.
Edens Garden’s lavender plants are grown at high elevation and are also referred to as Bulgarian Lavender. The highest quality lavender grows at altitudes above 2,000 feet. Lavender is an evergreen plant that grows to about 3 feet and produces gorgeous lilac-colored flowers. To extract the oil, the flowers are put through a steam distillation process. Lavender-Bulgarian essential oil is a pure essential oil that you will not want to live without.
