Lavender is the most used essential oil in aromatherapy today.  It  can be used  for so many things from relaxation, relieving stress to  treating wounds and calming inflammation.

What are the benefits of high altitude distilled lavender?

That means that our high altitude lavender essential oil is wonderfully relaxing! The most popular and arguably the most versatile essential oil. Every household should have this on hand.

At Moon Haven our standard lavender oil (Lavendula angustifolia) is anything but ordinary.

COMPLEX, DEEP & SULTRY

Our moonies love patchouli oil for its spicy complexity and ability to add depth and lasting power to essential oil blends.

Deep, sultry and complex, Patchouli oil is one of those fragrances that leaves an impression. We have so many moonies who use patchouli essential oil as the basis for their personal perfume it's crazy.

Patchouli is a very fragrant herb with soft oval leaves and square stems. It grows from 2 to 3 feet in height.

History: One interesting point is that patchouli was used to scent fabric and cloth sent form India to Europe and so the scent was associated with the Far East.  Another is that in the Flower Power era patchouli was used to hide the scent of Marijuana...quite unsuccessfully I am told by reliable sources...as where there was a whiff of patchouli in the air then our officers of law and order would immediately look for drug use!

Uses: 

• may help with unbalanced skin issues

• useful in anti-ageing blend

• helps to still the mind in meditation

• base note to add lasting power to essential oil blends/perfumes

• helps to repair & smooth skin
