You know that the name “lavender” It comes from the Latin word lavare, which means’clean?

Dear since antiquity, this aromatic plant has been appreciated for its soothing, purifying and therapeutic properties – used to relieve the pain, calm of the mind and healing microtrans. Today, lavender oil is extracted via steaming, with its floral, botanical aroma being immediately recognizable and its benefits. It is an essential ingredient in aromatherapy, skin care and natural therapies – a real multifunctional ally with sedative action.

There are many varieties of lavender, each with a unique aroma and chemical composition, so not all oils are the same. Hiqili’s True Lavender Essential Oil, for example, comes from a certified organic lavender and is famous for its balanced aroma, powerful action and excellent quality.

Before you start, however, a small warning: as with all essential oils, lavender oil should not be applied directly to the skin. Always dilute it with base oil (such as almond oil, jojoba or coconut oil) to avoid irritation. The safe rule? 3–4 drops of essential oil per tablespoon of base oil.
