Safety: It is important to note that essential oils should be used with care and diluted properly before use, especially when applied topically. Avoid during pregnancy. The oil can be oxidised and the biproducts of that oxidation process can be irritating. Therefore, it is best to avoid lavender in products containing peroxides. It is also best to incorporate antioxidants and pack to avoid speeding up oxidation. This is true for many essential oils and Lavender is generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation.
Common Uses:
Did you know? What sets Australian lavender apart is its adaptability; certain varieties have been specifically cultivated to adapt to Australia's diverse climates, rendering them more resilient to drought, resistant to disease, and capable of flourishing in both the arid interior and the milder coastal areas of Australia. This level of adaptability is rare compared to traditional European lavender types, which often demand more precise conditions to prosper. Furthermore, Australian lavender plants typically feature vigorous growth and prolonged flowering periods, offering both aesthetic beauty with their vivid blooms and lush greenery, and a steady production of lavender oil, highly valued in the cosmetic and aromatherapy sectors. This combination of resilience, adaptability, and utility makes Australian lavender an unusual and valuable plant within the diverse landscapes of Australia.
