Abstract

Lavender, a perennial subshrub classified under the genus Lavandula and the family Labiatae, is native to the southern areas of Europe and the Mediterranean. It has also been brought to China, albeit with less research conducted on the subject. China is home to two primary cultivated species of lavender, which are primarily found in regions such as Xinjiang, Shaanxi, and Jiangsu. Among these regions, Xinjiang is the predominant cultivator, with a focus on the narrow-leaved lavender variety. The full understanding of the sensible and efficient utilisation of lavender essential oil is necessary due to its significant therapeutic and decorative significance. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of lavender essential oil, encompassing an analysis of its active components and recommended application guidelines based on a thorough assessment of relevant literature. Additionally, it compares and evaluates various extraction processes currently employed in the industry. Furthermore, the research delves into the safety considerations associated with lavender essential oil and explores appropriate practises for its consumption to ensure user well-being.
