Description
Lavandula (common name Lavender) is a genus of 39 species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found from Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, southern Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to southeast India. Many members of the genus are cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants for garden and landscape use, for use as culinary herbs, and also commercially for the extraction of essential oils. The most widely cultivated species, Lavandula angustifolia is often referred to as lavender, and there is a color named for the shade of the flowers of this species.
I use essential oil of Lavender to help with allergies as well as a calming agent, putting drops of it on my feet. Also, I put 10 drops of oil in a 4 oz bottle of oil to use as an air freshener or to spray linens. If you want to try this and other essential oils you can visit my other website and go to the essential oils tab.
