Lavender and lavandin essential oils are known for their many virtues. Cultivated for centuries in mountainous areas, they are now highly prized by: - budding (and experienced) gardeners and landscapers for their color and elegance, - aromatherapists for their healing properties, - masseurs and beauticians for their relaxing use, - and even housewives for their cleansing and perfuming properties (in a perfume burner, in the washing machine drawer, in floor wash water, on cotton balls in linen closets to repel moths, etc.). )
