Lavender 40/42 has the most floral scent of all the Lavenders. It has been
historically claimed to be an analgesic, anti-depressant, antimicrobial,
antirheumatic, antiseptic, deodorant, hypotensive, insecticide, sedative,
stimulant, tonic, and as a minor vulnerary. Lavender 40/42 refers to the
standardization of both Linalool and Linalyl acetate resulting in a very
consistent floral scent.
One of the unique characteristics of Lavender Essential Oil is that it is not
merely energizing or relaxing, but balancing. The scent of Lavender will
rejuvenate and inspire a tired person, and relax, soothe and slow down
someone who is stressed or tense.
