Bulgarian Lavender essential oil is a unique and highly sought-after variety that is non-cultivated and wild harvested. This type of lavender grows in the natural environment, away from commercial farming, which contributes to its exceptional quality and aroma.
The Bulgarian Lavender oil has a bright, clear, rich, sweet, and deep floral scent with smooth soft edges that make it stand out from other types of lavender oil, except our high altitude lavender from France that it closely rivals. This aroma is perfect for use in a variety of applications, including massage and bath oils, body creams and lotions, perfume blends, or simply to enjoy on its own by adding a few drops in the diffuser.
One of the outstanding benefits of this oil is its calming and balancing properties. It is widely recognized as one of the best essential oils for promoting a restful night's sleep. After an exhausting day that usually turns into insomnia, placing a few drops on a cotton ball or tissue inside the pillowcase, where the beautiful aroma serves as a lullaby, is an excellent way to relax and fall asleep.
Apart from its relaxing properties, Bulgarian Lavender oil is also useful for various health conditions. It is a good all-around oil for hay fever, sinus allergies, congestion, headaches, and stress-related tension. It is also an excellent antiseptic oil that can be applied directly to insect bites and stings to help relieve symptoms.
Another benefit of this oil is its soothing effect on burns. It can help prevent blistering and scarring, making it an essential oil for cooks to keep in their kitchen for minor burns and skin irritations.
Overall, Bulgarian Lavender essential oil is a versatile and valuable addition to anyone's wellness routine.
