Description

Lavender essential oil  is steam distilled from the flower of the lavender plant. Aromatically, Lavender has a powdery, floral, light scent.
"Lavender has been used and cherished for centuries for its unmistakable aroma and myriad benefits. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume. Its calming and relaxing qualities, when taken internally, continue to be Lavender’s most notable attributes. Applied topically, Lavender is frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. Add to bath water to soak away stress or apply to the temples and the back of the neck. Add a few drops of Lavender to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep. Due to Lavender’s versatile properties, it is considered the must-have oil to have on hand at all times."

Sourcing Information 

One of the main reasons I chose dōTERRA is because of where and how they source their essential oils. dōTERRA believes that plants produce the best chemical properties when they are grown and harvested in their native habitat. ​
dōTERRA sources Lavender from Bulgaria. Each batch of essential oils goes through the following battery of tests to ensure that they are pure, potent, effective oils worthy of the dōTERRA name:
  • Organoleptic testing
  • Microbial testing
  • Gas chromatography
  • Mass spectrometry
  • Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
  • Chirality testing
  • Isotopic analysis
  • Heavy metal testing
You can access the GC/MS reports of each batch of dōTERRA essential oils. These tests are done by an independent third party lab. Your unique Quality ID is located on the bottom of your bottle. Enter that ID at sourcetoyou.com to access the reports.
