Lavender’s aroma is one known to many. The Romans explored the therapeutic benefits of lavender’s dried flowers by using in their bath water.  In folk tradition, lavender made its name as a stomach soother, and was used as a fragrance to scent bed linen.  The aromatic French lavender essential oil is sourced from France, and extracted through steam distillation of the flowering tops, often in July and August. The sweet-herbaceous oil has a potent impact on psychological health and is useful for dealing with nervous tension and overwhelm. Use French lavender oil through inhalation or in a full body massage to stabilize the mood, ward off negative emotions, quiet fears and phobias, and soothe pain.
