LAVENDER dried herbs for aromatherapy soothes sleep

Lawenda - susz do aromaterapii, kwiat

Dried lavender flower in a pharmacy box from HempBio, prepared as dried flower for aromatherapy. This is one of those raw materials that needs no introduction: its characteristic, sweet-herbaceous scent is instantly recognizable, and the small gray-lilac flower clusters look as recognizable in the blend as they smell. The manufacturer declares the raw material as pure, with no additives, sourced from organic farming, and packs it in an airtight, light-resistant box with a seal and a Boveda packet inside.

The product card is quite detailed: the manufacturer describes the raw material, packaging, storage conditions, and a whole list of declarations, from the absence of sugar and preservatives to being sourced from organic cultivation. For use, it is recommended to grind the flower clusters with a grinder. The same raw material can also be used solely for its scent, without any device - in that case, an open container or a sachet in the closet is sufficient.

Ingredients

The composition is single-ingredient. Below are the raw material and the declarations that the manufacturer prints with this item:

• Suszony kwiat lawendy - jeden surowiec, bez mieszanek i domieszek
• The producer describes the material as pure, without additives
• Deklaracja pochodzenia: produkt rolnictwa ekologicznego
• No sugar, no colorants, no preservatives, no lactose, and no casein
• No gluten, no GMOs, alcohol-free, vegan, and vegetarian

The list of declarations is long and worth reading in full, as one raw material answers several questions about its composition: alcohol-free, dye-free, sugar-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, iodine-free, casein-free, preservative-free, lactose-free, pure, vegan and vegetarian, plus it is an organic farming product. When composing your own blends, this is a real convenience - you check once and know what you are adding to the composition.

The second half of this card concerns the packaging and is also specific. The pharmacy box, seal, and Boveda packet inside are three answers to the three ways in which dried flower loses its form: light, an airtight seal, and humidity beyond the range. The manufacturer also keeps the raw material in airtight, light-resistant containers at a temperature not exceeding 18 °C, which serves as a ready instruction on how to store the box at home.

Under the declarations, a specific company with an address signs off - HempBio, Szymańskiego 12/44H in Toruń - so it is clear whom to ask about the batch.

Specification

How to use

The manufacturer describes this raw material as an herb for aromatherapy and recommends grinding the material with a grinder before use. The temperature range provided below comes from a retailer offering the same dried product:

• Grind the flower clusters with a grinder - lavender is fragile, so a few turns are enough.
• The retailer of this dried flower indicates a range of 100-125 °C
• Start from the lower limit of the range - lavender releases aroma early and can be easily overheated.
• After use, close the box and leave the Boveda packet inside

Lavender can also be used purely for scent - in a sachet, in the closet, or in an open container - and then you don't need a grinder or any device.

For whom

This dried flower is for those who compose their own aromatic blends and want to have an ingredient that sets the scent of the entire composition. Lavender is demanding in this regard: it takes very little to dominate the blend, so more than other raw materials, it rewards careful dosing. The scent is, after all, the entire content of the offer: one species, one profile, no additives that would need to be sifted out when composing.

However, this is not a product for someone looking for lavender for brewing or cooking: the manufacturer describes it as dried flower for aromatherapy. For teas and food raw materials, we have separate shelves in the store, labeled with their own manufacturers' declarations. It's worth checking this before purchase, as the same species can be sold for several completely different purposes, and the declaration on the label is more important than the name of the plant itself.

Frequently asked questions

What does a pharmacist's box with a seal provide?

The seal confirms that the packaging has not been opened before purchase. The box itself is hermetic and light-resistant - the manufacturer points out that UV radiation degrades plant material. After opening, it seals tightly, so you don't need a separate container for storing the herbal blend, and the Boveda packet stays inside.

What is the recommended vaporization temperature for lavender?

The range of 100-125 °C is provided by the retailer offering exactly the same herbal blend, and this value comes from there. Lavender releases aroma early, so in practice, it is worth starting from the lower limit of this range and gradually increasing the temperature, observing when the aroma becomes fullest.

Does the herb need to be ground?

The producer recommends using a good grinder before each use, and we repeat the same. Uniformly ground material heats evenly, and with lavender, this has additional significance because the dry flower heads are brittle and only a few turns of the grinder are needed to achieve the right fraction.

Why is there a Boveda sachet in the box?

It is a two-way humidity regulator: it releases moisture when there is too little in the packaging and absorbs it when there is too much. Over-dried lavender crumbles to dust at the first touch, while damp lavender clumps together - the packet keeps the material between these two states.

Variants and category

HempBio packs several raw materials in the same pharmacy boxes, making it convenient to compose blends from them. Among this line, we have available dried flower from passionflower and dried flower from hop cones - each with its own net weight and characteristics, which we do not transfer between pages. You will find all dried flowers and plant raw materials in the category Herbs.
