First shoots of Spring
Morena,
The first shoots of Spring have sprung across our fields of Pacific Blue and Grosso.
It has been a relatively mild winter and the lavender has come through some -3 degree frosts well.
While we aren't yet in metorological Spring, Pacific Blue isn't holding back with masses of new growth.This is always an exciting time as it reminds of us of the advent of summer and lavender fields that are full of purple flowers.
Recent research suggests that oral administration of lavender oil may have the most benefit. While we are not recommending this yet, it suggests a change in understanding around how lavender oil works in the human body.
The research stated "Overall, the administration of lavender essential oil proves to be effective in the treatment of anxiety, whereas for inhalation there is only an indication of an effect of reasonable size, due to the heterogeneity of available studies. Lavender essential oil administered through massage appears effective, but available studies are not sufficient to determine whether the benefit is due to a specific effect of lavender".
We hope your lockdown is going as well as it can, and if you need one of our lavender products to help you through - just let us know.
