The Origins of Lavender

Historical Background

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a beautiful, fragrant flowering plant native to the Mediterranean, prized for its attractive purple-blue flowers and distinct, soothing aroma. Its use dates back over 2,500 years, when it was employed by the ancient Egyptians and Romans for its medicinal properties and as a perfuming agent.

Today, lavender is cultivated worldwide and extracted for its essential oil, which is valued in aromatherapy, personal care products, and natural remedies. At Oshu Oils, our artisan essential earth oils, including lavender, are sourced and crafted using only the finest botanical ingredients.

Lavender Essential Oil: Use & Benefits

Relaxation & Calming

Lavender essential oil’s calming scent has been proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and promote feelings of relaxation. Just a few drops in a diffuser, bath, or diluted in a carrier oil for massage can ease tension and promote a more peaceful state of mind.

Improve Sleep

Struggling with insomnia or restlessness at night? Lavender oil is a natural solution, as it has been shown to improve sleep quality and increase the duration of sleep. Simply add a few drops to a pillowcase, diffuser, or create a room spray to encourage a restful night’s slumber.

Enhance Overall Wellbeing

Lavender oil’s therapeutic properties extend beyond relaxation and sleep, with benefits such as pain relief, reducing inflammation, supporting skin health, and easing respiratory issues. Incorporating lavender oil into your daily routine can improve overall wellbeing and help maintain balance amidst our modern, busy lifestyles.
