Lavender Population is credited as being the most therapeutic of all
lavender varieties, though it is less floral than lavender 40/42.  This
lavender is grown at a high pristine elevation over 3,500 feet, creating a
highly exotic and complex lavender oil.  Mellowed by the long daylight hours
in high latitude, moderate rainfall and sandy soil, this lavender rivals the
best of the world's great lavenders.  Herbalists regard this Lavender as one
of the most useful and versatile essential oil for therapeutic purposes.  It is
thought to have antiseptic and analgesic properties that will ease the pain
of a burn and prevent infection.  It is purported to promote rapid healing
and help reduce scarring.  Lavender aroma has a calming effect on the
body and it can be used to reduce anxiety, stress and promote sleep.
