• Not to be confused: Lavandin, aspic lavender and stoechade lavender contain, among other things, significant amounts of camphor and 1.8 cineole. Their use is therefore more limited.
• Attention in prolonged use to the gynecomastiantes effects in the young boy.
• Avoid during the first three months of pregnancy
• Respect the dosages in children under 12 years old, avoid prolonged treatments.

More information

In view of the number of existing scientific articles, the essential oil of Lavender officinale is very probably the most studied essential oil today, which makes it possible to justify without great difficulty its great interest in relieving skin problems, nervous disorders, as well as pain in young and old alike.

With excellent skin tolerance, it can be used occasionally pure, but it is always preferable to dilute it beforehand.

It will also lend itself very well to use in the bath or for diffusion (passeportsante.net).

Fine lavender is sometimes called officinal or wardrobe lavender.

The name wardrobe is explained by the custom in the south of France of placing sachets of flowers in cupboards, to ward off insects and perfume linen.

Wild fine lavender is Lavandula vera while cultivated fine lavender is Lavandula angustifolia.

Lavender is a perennial sub-shrub of the Mediterranean regions.

It has erect unbranched branches, narrow, lanceolate, opposite leaves.

The flowers are located on a long peduncle in dense whorls, forming a false spike, with a very pleasant smell.

True lavender predominates in the "Banon-Sault-Sédéron" area, but it is grown in the valleys of Drôme and Verdon, Vercors, Lubéron, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Baronnies, Hautes- Alps, it grows up to 2000 m altitude in the Alpes de Haute-Provence.

Its essential oil has had an AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) since 1981, like great wines.

The creator of the term "Aromatherapy", René-Maurice Gattefossé (one of the founding fathers of modern aromatherapy), cured himself of an infection that was beginning to gangrene, due to a burn in his laboratory in 1910 on the day of the birth of her son, thanks to repeated applications of essential oil of fine lavender impregnating a tulle gras.
