Lavender officinale is a shrub with perennial and scenttic leaves. It can be cultivated in northern regions and at low altitudes. In the wild, it grows mainly in the Alps of Haute Provence, at an altitude of between 800 and 1600 m; its production is low and its harvesting difficult. In addition to its relaxing scenttic properties, Lavender essential oil can also help relieve feelings of tension when used internally. Although internal use of Lavender is recommended to help promote restful sleep, it can also help promote relaxation.
