Lavendell is a small lavender farm offering a range of lavender essential oils and beautiful handcrafted lavender products for your fragrant pleasure. We would love you to have a look at details and prices of our Products on this site, or visit us at one of our Markets.

Lavendell is located 6km out of Katikati in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, with a fine view of the eastern side of the Kaimai Ranges. We grow mainly Lavandula x Intermedia “Grosso” and L. angustifolia “Pacific Blue” lavender varieties.

We distill the flowers on site to extract the essential oil during the summer harvest, then make other products throughout the year, using the oil and rubbed dried lavender flowers. These include our ever-popular lavender mist, lavender-scented soap, eye masks, wheat bags, and more.

“May the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful.” Psalm 90:17 (NLT)

Lavender Origins and Benefits

Originating in the Mediterranean, lavender has been used for thousands of years. It has many wonderful properties and has a long history of use to boost appetite and mood, as well as to relieve gastrointestinal problems and anxiety.

Today people use lavender as a dietary supplement for anxiety, depression, intestinal problems and pain. Some also apply the essential oil to the skin for hair loss, pain and improving emotional health. Others inhale lavender vapour to help them sleep, reduce congestion, reduce pain and agitation related to dementia.

Some hospitals have lavender aroma diffusers in certain areas and find that medical staff and patients seem to be less stressed and more relaxed.
