Lavender

Transcript: Lavender Lavender is native to the Mediterranean region. It was used in ancient Egypt as part of the process for the mummifying bodies. Lavenders use as a bath additive originated in Persia, Greece, and Rome. The herb's name comes from the Latin lavare, which means "to wash." Historically, lavender was used as an antiseptic and for mental health purposes. Today this herb is used for conditions such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and depression. Lavender is used for headache, upset stomach, and hair loss. Lavender is most commonly used in a aromatherapy, in which the scent of the essential oil from the flowers is inhaled. The essential oil can also be diluted with another oil and applied to the skin. Dried lavender flowers can be used to make teas or liquid extracts that can be taken by mouth. There is little scientific evidence of lavenders effectiveness for most health uses. Small studies of lavender for anxiety show mixed results. Some preliminary results indicate that lavender oil, combined with oils from other herbs, may help with hair loss from a condition called alopecia areata. Use Of Aromatherapy is generally considered safe for most adults. However, applying lavender oil to the skin can cause irritation. There have been reports to topical use can cause breast growth in boys. Lavender Oil may be poisionous if taken by mouth. When Lavender teas and extracts are taken by mouth, they may cause headache, changes in appetite, and constipation. Using Lavender with sedative medications may increase drowsiness. How is it used?

Lavender oil is normally extracted through the process of solvent extraction. Solvent extraction begins when lavender flowers are added into a large rotating container that also has a chemical solvent(hexane). As the lavender flowers sit in the solvent for a long period of time their plant essence, colour and wax begin to come forth. Once the solvent evaporates it leaves behind a strong substance called a concentrate. Once the concentrate is left alone it is mixed with an alcohol. This alcohol is used to filter away unnecessary waxes from the oils. In result you are left with lavender essential oil.

Try to plant it where it will get eight hours of sun a day. If you have your plants in containers, less sun is better if you cannot water them as often as needed.

You can add builder’s sand to the soil before planting to increase drainage, which is vital because lavender will not tolerate excessive soil moisture or humidity. Prune lightly to promote branching, especially in spring once the plants show new growth.Sprinkle bone meal or other phosphorus-rich fertilizer around each plant in the fall to make it stronger and more winter hardy. Work the fertilizer into the first inch of soil, or let the rain soak it in. Use a sharp knife to take a hardwood or softwood cutting that is 3 to 4 inches long. Cut hardwood stems just below a bump that indicates a leaf node. Remove all of the leaves from the lower 2 inches of the stem and then gently scrape the skin off the bottom portion of the stem on one side with a knife Life Cycle Take cuttings of Lavender Insects that are harmful
