原料介紹｜真正薰衣草 (Lavender)

▎精油簡介

真正薰衣草又被稱作「真實薰衣草」或高地薰衣草。每年 5 月開花，平均生長海拔約 800 公尺以上。耐旱，開紫色花穗。名稱則是由拉丁文「Lavare」演變而來，代表「洗滌」之意。古羅馬時代，人們以薰衣草沐浴，相信能潔淨靈魂與身體。

原產於地中海沿岸，藉著羅馬人擴大帝國版圖，後來逐漸遍布英國，與歐洲北部，兩千多年來，被廣泛運用在醫療和食用，現在為歐洲傳統醫療法以及芳香療法主要植物之一。所熟悉的薰衣草(Lanvender)，在18世紀時，一直被稱為“espic”，而在普羅旺斯，薰衣草則被暱稱為“epi”，而羅馬、希臘人用薰衣草“淨化”、“清潔”病房及收容所。

目前發現的薰衣草品種逾 20 種，且有超過上百種的雜交品項，但是在芳療應用中，最通用的仍是真正薰衣草精油。其豐富的酯類結構相當溫和，安全性高，適用於各個年齡層，真正薰衣草都能溫柔地給上一臂之力。
