Botanical name: Lavandula Angustifolia
Lavender (scientific name of the plant Lavandula) is a perennial, evergreen and bee-growing shrub that belongs to the family of Lamiaceae with a special ornamental value thanks to its intense purple flowers. It is found in the Mediterranean regions and is an important source of polyphenols with rich medicinal and cosmetic properties. The name lavender comes from the Latin word lavāre which means to wash. It symbolizes life and death and is also a symbol of devotion. Lavender plants of the genus Lavandula Angustifolia or lavender are cultivated in our estate in Crete and the essential oil that is produced is of exceptional quality.
Genuine lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a long history of use in aromatherapy to promote sleep and relaxation and relieve stress. Its flowering is rich, extremely fragrant and occurs from mid to late spring to late summer. Harvest takes place during the full flowering stage, when the maximum quantity and quality of essential oil can be obtained.
Extraction Methods
Lavender essential oil is obtained by distilling its flowering tops and its aroma is sweet and fresh with a "green", herbal aroma.
Distillation is a delicate process requiring experience and constant supervision in order to obtain a high-quality oil. Our chemists and perfumers undertake this delicate process to obtain high quality essential oils. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs flooding the air with the most beautiful and exquisite natural scents.
Our equipment ensures the best quality of essential oil. It takes 100 kg of herbs to make 1 lt of essential oil. We produce Dittany essential oil in a worldwide exclusivity, as well as a wide range of rare essential oils from flowers and herbs in our distillery in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. An “essencier” or separator collects the floral water or hydrosol and the essential oil. The difference in density between the two liquids makes it easy to separate the essential oil from the floral water.
Properties
Genuine Lavender (Lavendula Angustifolia) essential oil is considered one of the top and safest essential oils to use as it is one of the few that can be used fearlessly insoluble on the skin. Phytochemical studies have revealed that the main constituents of the essential oil are 1.8 cineole, camphor and D-borneol with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antispasmodic properties. In addition, it contains substances such as terpenes (linalyl acetate) and terpene alcohols (linalool), with strong antiseptic, neuroregulatory and regenerative action.
