Lavender
Lavendula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Lavendula Angustifolia Oil
This plant from the Lamiaceae family is a particularly versatile medicinal plant. Lavender has a healing effect, stimulates blood circulation, is anti-inflammatory and soothing, and also has a certain antifungal (antifungal) and antibacterial effect. This is particularly pronounced in the lavender essential oil. Also used to treat allergic reactions, the anti-inflammatory effect of the lavender oil is well known. Lavender oil represents one of the few essential oils which can be applied to the skin pure. Promoting healing and even soothing, lavender helps to treat burns and can be applied by the drop to prevent blistering. However, caution is required since lavender oil can cause allergic reactions, although this very rarely happens.
In addition to true lavender, there are several subspecies and hybrids. If true lavender is expressly sought, look for the terms "Lavendula Angustifolia" or "lavender fine".
Cosmetic properties:
- healing, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, ideal for acne and blemished or inflamed skin
- promotes blood circulation and calms, suitable for the care of burns
- can also be used in pure form
