Lavender (Xun Yi Cao)
Steam distilled Lavandula augustifolia
Cool and calm, release and relax are key words to describe the effects of Lavender’s sweet floral aroma with a hint of spice. Our 100% pure Lavender essential oil is steam distilled.
Used therapeutically in the practice of Chinese medicine, Lavender demonstrates its affinity to the Lung, Liver, and Pericardium, by helping to calm the Spirit, smooth Liver Qi, diffuse lung Qi, and release wind heat.
For nervousness, irritability, insomnia, restlessness and for high blood pressure Lavender essential oil can be a great comfort when diffused as aromatherapy or infused into a pillow.
Practitioners may apply the diluted oil for headaches, tight muscles, spasms, menstrual pain or scant flow due to constrained Liver Qi. It may also be applied or inhaled to ease chest tightness. And as an added bonus, Lavender is insect repellant.
Lavender has a long and rich history since ancient times in many cultures. For example, Lavender was one of the holy herbs used in the biblical Temple to prepare the holy essence.
