High Alpine Lavender Essential Oil- Alpine Heights!
High Aline Lavender grows on the mountain slopes of the Alps, at an elevation of over 15,000 feet. It’s the highest growing lavender that has been found, and when studied, it was found that the soil, temperature, precipitation, etc. causes it to have the highest ester content in the essential oil. Higher ester content gives it a more intense lavender fragrance, and a higher level of a key compound, called Linalyl Acetate, that provides anti-bacterial, anti-viral and analgesic properties. So, basically when you want a more intense therapeutic effect, High Alpine Lavender will give you stronger remedies for infections, colds and flu, calming and pain relief.
