LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL 
                     ABOUT LAVENDER
A flower that was impressive enough to give a colour its name? LAVENDER 
(Lavandula)- Beautiful name, gorgeous flowers and even better qualities!! 
There are no people who don’t fall in love with this intense blue- purple 
magnificent flower. It captures hearts with its beauty and aroma and keep 
them safe with its therapeutic properties. For a person like me, it is 
impossible to find my dressing shelf without a bottle of Lavender Essential 
Oil and Almond oil to go with it. It’s in my bag, in my car and many other 
little corners of my house because of its benefits that we’ll discuss ahead in 
this appreciation blog for Lavender, which according to me is well-deserved!!
It is said that lavender was discovered by the French chemist and scholar 
René-Maurice Gattefossé in 1910 when he accidentally put his burnt hand in 
a tub of Lavender essential oil and found out that how effective was the oil in
improving his skin’s condition. Well, I’m sorry for the burn but I’m kinda 
thankful for the discovery. A little selfish of me I guess..!! Oh don’t pretend 
like you aren’t happy with it. Anyway.. it was found and then studied and 
experimented on various conditions. People who were using it just for the 
aroma now realised that there is much more behind the curtains and it is 
worth investing in. From that day, Lavender never looked back and is still a 
Hero- loved and admired by all. It is being used in the form of oils, extracts 
and even raw flowers because of its multi-purpose approach.
AROMA OF LAVENDER
Though fragrances are hard to put into words and something as delicate as 
Lavender when described, it could never be complete for one needs to 
experience its aroma and allow it to reach the senses to know the real 
lavender. Yet, Lavender has a rich floral scent that is somewhat fruitier, 
mellower and less camphoraceous. It has a therapeutic scent that is ultra 
soothing. It is earthy and floral with balsamic undertones, and creates a 
relaxing impact on the mind when inhaled. Delicate yet strong, it is unique in
its own way.
WHAT IS LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL AND HOW IS IT 
EXTRACTED?
Lavender Essential Oil is not just some oil carrying a purple label and some 
lavender like aroma. An essential oil is true only when it is carrying the whole
essence of the flower, carrying the aromatic and therapeutic molecules in 
the extraction process. For Example, SVA ORGANICS LAVENDER BULGARI 
ESSENTIAL OIL is extracted by the Steam Distillation method of special 
Bulgaria Lavender flowers (Lavandula angustifolia) and makes sure that the 
oil retains each and every quality of the flower in a concentrated and pure 
form.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LAVENDER 
ESSENTIAL OIL?
FOR SKIN AND HAIR:
 Lavender is anti-inflammatory and anti- bacterial in nature. Our skins are 
exposed to so many bacteria outside and fights everyday just to retain that 
shine and cleanliness but somehow the efforts aren’t enough and it falls prey to 
those microbial attacks. Lavender not only heals the affected skin but also acts 
as a shield and prevents acne and bacteria from growing on the skin surface.
 When those hormones are nasty, blemishes and skin discoloration can be 
a serious issue. And we’ve got life beyond makeup as well so instead of hiding it,
why not cure it? Lavender can be a saviour for your ‘’Damsel in Distress’’ skin 
and can fight those dark spots and blemishes by penetrating deeper into the 
skin layers. Also other skin conditions such as burns, stretch marks, bruises and 
cuts that never fade away shall be healed by few drops of natural lavender 
essential oil.
 Lavender is recently being discovered as a hair growth stimulant as well. 
It may aid in problems like pattern baldness and alopecia. In general also, for a 
better hair growth, lavender oil deserves a chance for it increases the blood 
circulation and its anti-bacterial and soothing property keeps the lice and 
dandruff both far away from that beautiful hair of yours.
THERAPEUTIC AND MENTAL HEALTH

brain. The entire world swears on Lavender essential oil when people ask for the
natural solutions for insomnia, stress, anxiety and other depression issues. 
Lavender by its aroma is known to instantly relax the brain and instil a sense of 
calmness and peacefulness when inhaled.

 "I'm satisfied with my skin"- Said no one ever! Keeping the skin healthy is 
an ongoing process but for the results worth effort, include Lavender Essential

motion before going to bed. You’ll see visible results in a week itself.
Bugs, Insects and Bacteria:
 There is something about the lavender aroma that the insects and bugs 
don’t really like and that’s a win for us. Add 5-6 drops of lavender essential 
oil on a cotton pad and hang it in a small net pocket or cloth near your windows 
or any peaking corners for your house to keep the annoying creatures at bay.
 You can also hang the little pockets in your closets, bathrooms and store 
rooms for a beautiful aroma in your clothes and damp areas which will also keep
them clean by preventing any microbial growth.
Hair and scalp care:
 Hair problems are rather common yet we find them embarrassing. No we 
don’t like creatures crawling on hair or an unseasonal snowfall from the head. 
Massage your scalp twice a week with lavender essential oil diluted in any 
carrier oil to get rid of dandruff and lice completely. Also the increased blood 
circulation will stimulate hair growth and relieve from the stress.
Mental health and Meditation:
 Add few drops of lavender essential oil in the Diffuser and light it when 
sitting in meditation, or while reading your favourite book which transport you to
another world or simply when you want to have a relaxed and deep sleep after a
long, tiring day at office. I dreamt lucidly in that aroma. Pretty amazing 
experience I tell you!!
 Simply, take 2-3 drops in your palm and rub it gently inside your pillow 
case for an amazingly relaxed sleep. Also, just inhale the fragrance twice or 
thrice on a stressful day. It will help a lot in retaining your cool and will stop you 
from actually punching the other person.
