Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is an aromatic shrub that is actually native to areas in the western Mediterranean region. It grows to about 1 to 2 metres and produces purple/pink coloured flowers. This precious oil is extracted from the fresh flowering tops of the plant using steam distillation resulting in the sweet, floral, herbaceous aroma and fresh woody, balsamic undertones of our Tri Nature Lavender Essential Oil.

Does Lavender Essential Oil help you to sleep?

Should I diffuse Lavender Essential Oil on its own or blend with other Essential Oils? What are the best Essential Oils to diffuse with Lavender?
Lavender Essential Oil is great by itself, but it blends very well with any of the “citrusy” essential oils such as Lemon, Orange and Lime. Other essential oils that it blends very well with are Clary Sage, Rose, Rosewood, Sandalwood and Frankincense.

Tri Nature Customer & Naturopathy Student Ashlee Adam raves about Lavender Essential Oil. Here’s why she loves it:
“Lavender oil is the oil I use most! It’s the best all rounder oil, great for so many things! We use for treating cuts and burns, as it has antimicrobial properties. Great for relieving stress and anxiety and will improve sleep, and I also use it every day in my skin care routine along with frankincense, due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability, to help reduce the signs of ageing. Just add a few drops to your daily moisturiser or precious facial oil!” – Ashlee A.
