DESCRIPTION

The oil essential of lavender ecologic is obtained by steam trawling from the Lavandula latifolia plant, F. Medikus, it is present throughout the Mediterranean basin, especially in Spain and France.

The lavender belongs to the wide family of labiates and its good adaptation and resistance allows it to inhabit calcareous and mountainous areas of aggressive temperatures, so that this perennial shrub in the shape of a bush is easily cultivable.

This plant usually measures between 40-60 cm tall, with woody stems, elliptical leaves, almost linear, whole and somewhat hairy, blue flowers in spike, very long and thin peduncle, and gray ellipsoidal seed. The whole plant is very aromatic, and mainly from the flowers an essential oil used in perfumery is extracted.

flowering occurs in summer and that is when it must be collected.

The oil essential is used in perfumery and aromatherapy, and traditional medicine uses it as an antiseptic, antibacterial and skin regenerator. Its medical use must be controlled and advised.
