About the herb
What lavender is
the flower of lavender (Lavandulae flos)
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a low, woody subshrub with narrow greyish leaves and blue-violet flower spikes besieged by bees. It is native to Mediterranean hillsides; here it thrives on sunny, dry, limy ground, and in Stična it grows in the garden by the wall, where there is shelter.
The flower spikes are gathered just before the flowers open fully, because the essential oil is at its highest then, in the morning in dry weather. They are cut with shears above the woody part; the bush is trimmed after flowering so that it does not sprawl. It is dried in the shade, hung head down in bunches or spread out, and the flowers are then stripped from the spikes.
Lavender and lavender essential oil are different preparations. In Ašič's collection the flower of lavender appears in the MirSIT blend and in the Hand Cream.
Use and evidence
The positive EMA use for mild stress and for help with sleep applies above all to preparations of L. angustifolia, so it may not be carried over to L. latifolia without evidence. EMA 1, EMA 2.
Safety and precautions
The essential oil can irritate and cause an allergy; the chemical composition of the two species differs appreciably. Publication is to be held back until the species is confirmed.
These notes are general and do not replace advice from a doctor or a pharmacist, above all in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, in children and alongside medicines.
