Lavender Therapeutic Essential oil
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma that is soothing and refreshing.
Because Lavender is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is an adaptogen,
and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances.
Lavender is a great aid for relaxing
and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy.
Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty.

Young Living Lavender Organic Farm Tips:
- Young Living Lavender Farms are located in Utah, Idaho, France, and Ecuador.
- Young Living Lavender is from the largest organic lavender farms and distillery in North America.
- Young Living Lavender seeds for our farms in Utah and Idaho were originally brought here by Gary Young from Provence,
France, the lavender capital of the world.
These seeds are pure lavandula angustifolia, not lavandin, which
is a lavender hybrid that is less expensive and less time consuming to extract and to grow.
The Young Living Lavender Farm now collects seeds from our own plants and freezes them through the fall so
that when we plant them in our greenhouses in the winter, they are ready to germinate. The staff at the
farm know exactly how much water, light, and warmth to give them so they are ready to be transplanted
into our fields right after the last freeze.
