Lavender is an ancient oil that continues to have many uses. The name means to wash and originates from the Latin word ‘lavare’.
It’s ancient uses include bathing, scenting clothes, healing and antiseptic qualities, and as an insect repellant. These days lavender is widely used as: a sedative, an anti depressant, an antibiotic, an antiseptic, muscle relaxant and in the treatment of eczema. The increasingly popular art of aromatherapy is helping this natural product make a comeback.
Lavender oil is safe to use externally but should be used with caution during pregnancy.
Akaroa Organics produces two types of lavender.
Our largest amount of oil originates from plants known as Grosso. Grosso Lavandin is a naturally occurring hybrid of Lavandin angustifolia and Lavindin latifolia.
A smaller amount of oil is made from Lavandula Angustifolia known as Pacific Blue. This is a New Zealand origin lavender.
Akaroa Organics philosophy is to maximise the economic return from this property within the bounds of its natural organic framework. This philosophy is reflected in our approach to the organic development of the property.
We are returning up to 1/3 of the property to naturally occurring forest once found on Banks Peninsula. The remainder of the property in a mixture of pasture, sustainable forest (macrocarpa), orchards and lavender.
