  • Description

    Description of the flower
    The genus of Lavandula angustifolia comprises short-lived or annual herbaceous perennial plants, as well as small shrubs, subshrubs, or shrub-like perennials. The flowers of lavender are borne in whorls which are held on spikes above the foliage. In some species, the spikes are united in branches.

    Description of the oil
    High-end Bulgarian lavender oil bears a fragrance that is sweet and herbaceous, and has woody and floral hints. It can be either colorless or somewhat yellow-green to yellow.

    Lavender oil from Bulgaria possesses more than 150 active components, including copious amounts of ester – aromatic molecules that have calming, antispasmodic, and stimulating benefits.

    Camphor, linalool, linalyl acetate, and terpinen-4-ol are the principal botanical components of lavender oil while other constituents are lavandulyl acetate, geraniol, cis-ocimene, geraniol, and 1,8-cineole which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties.

    When in full blossom and possessing the maximum ester amounts, lavender flowers are picked and put through steam distillation to obtain the essential oil. Approximately 150 pounds of lavender are needed for the production of one pound of pure, high-quality lavender oil.

    By soaking the plant’s flower spikes in another essential oil, you can make a cold infusion.

  • History and Origin

    The annals of ancient history dictate us that the oil of Lavandula angustifolia (lavender) has been worshipped for its medicinal effects since more than 2,500 years.

    At that time, the Greeks, the Persians, and the Romans infused their bathwater with hints of lavender to cleanse their skins. In this regard, the word “lavare”, originating from Latin, literally means “to wash” – thus, the name lavender.

    The ancient Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Arabians would dip garments in lavender and then wrap mummies because of its astonishing scent.

    The precipitous regions of the Mediterranean and the shores of northern Africa are the native home of lavender since it is a sun-loving plant. Nowadays, you can stumble upon lavender in Australia, throughout the U.S., as well as the southern regions of Europe. The biggest lavender producer in the world since 2011 is Bulgaria.
