Lavender Poem by John Knight
Lavender
Lavender - Lavandula Angustilfolia!
Beautiful in appearance - unique in its scent,
Mauve petals on a slender stem exuding fragrance.
Lavender fields - English countryside - almost Heaven.
To yield its essence - precious 'Oil of Lavender'
The lavender must die, be crushed and then steamed.
Oil of Lavender - steam volatile scent of Paradise,
Drop by drop, litre by litre then barrel by barrel.
A whole fiield sacrificed mercilessly
To produce a few barrels of Lavender Oil.
What will it become? Perfume, Bath oil, Cosmetics
Lavender soap, shampoo, powder and candles.
The list is endless and its properties are legion.
It relaxes, stimulates, aids digestion,
It is antiseptic and antibacterial,
Antidandruff and revitalises the skin.
In aromatherapy Lavender Oil is King.
It sooths, calms, relieves tension and depression.
We could all benefit form lavenders powers,
A Lavender Oil massage takes you to Paradise.
What is Lavender Oil? - What makes it so powerful?
A mixture of chemicals? - You'll be sorry you asked!
Linalyl Acetate - limonene and camphor
Alpha - terpineol and trans-Ocimenene.
Its unique complex composition - forged in Heaven,
Makes Lavender Oil the Queen of all perfumes
Makes it the most therapeutic and effective.
A lavender-bag, under your pillow - SWEET DREAMS! !
Dedicated to the Lovely Lady who Loves Lavender!
