| About Ananda Aromatherapy Essential Oils: |
All oils from Ananda Aromatherapy are therapeutic grade, meaning they are produced to the highest quality standards possible. Our essential oils are chosen for their integrity (all chemical constituents important for aromatherapy are intact), ecological 'soundness' (most are organic or wild grown), and wonderful aromas. You may order a sample of any oil before trying larger amounts. Most samples are about .75ml; exotic oils such as Melissa, Rose, Angelica and Jasmine are only a few drops. Ananda Aromatherapy offers wholesale essential oils direct to you. We forgo the use of separate wholesale and retail tiers in order to keep fine therapeutic grade oils accessible to everyone! | |

Of the many Lavender essential oil varieties, it is typically the French Lavenders from mountainous regions that are held in the highest regard. The climate is perfect, and the higher altitude lends to lower distillation temperatures. And this Lavender is about perfect both aromatically and therapeutically. This organic Lavender Vera, also called 'True' and 'Fine' Lavender is, like our other lavenders, a variety of Lavendula angustifolia. The wild and High Elevation Lavenders will have slightly higher ester contents, making them excellent choices for hair and skin care, for muscle relaxation blends, wound care...anything where the cells of the body are being targeted, and of course for their beautiful aromas.
