Lavender Flowers Lavandula angustifolia
About the Plant:
Lavandula angustifolia is a much-loved evergreen shrub originally from the Mediterranean coast, now widely grown across the world. High in essential oils, its name derives from the Latin ‘lavare’ meaning ‘to wash’. The ancient Greeks and Romans made good use of its calming properties and sweet scent. The essential oils present in lavender, particularly linalool, have a calming effect on both the central nervous system and the digestive nervous system, making it one of the most versatile and well-researched plants in herbal medicine.
