A purple medicinal herb for strong nerves
“True lavender” is native to the coastal regions of the Mediterranean and grows there on dry, warm and rocky slopes. It is a shrub that can grow up to 60cm in height, and belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Lavender flowers worldwide, but most high-quality lavender oil is produced in France (Provence). Here it blooms from May to September and conjures up vast seas of purple-coloured flowers, which are a real landmark of this region.
But lavender can also be found closer to home, and is popular as a balcony, garden, or house plant. The famous, intensive lavender scent is truly symbolic of this fascinating plant, and emanates from many small oil glands located on its flowers and leaves.

Lavender flowers contain essential oils (e.g. cineol, linalool and coumarin) as well as flavonoids and tannins.
