BOOK DETAILS:

Lavender Edited by Maria Lis Balchin

Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Industrial Profile

Published by Taylor and Francis, (2002) ISBN: 0 415 28486 4

Considering increased inclination of people to develop commercial and medicinal crops worldwide, it is very important for Indians to consider working in this area, with strong technical understanding. Amongst many aromatic plants, Lavender seems to be very important, as indicated by workshops at IHBT on lavender oils. This is also true, because, India, being a geographically versatile land, it is possible to grow various species and sub species of Lavender. The book edited by Maria Lis Balcin, gives a very elaborate information about Lavender plant, which includes it's different botanical species, cultivation requirement, Lavender grown in different countries, harvesting and distillation of oil, standardization of oil, chemical analysis of oils from lavender and lavendin, therapeutic properties of lavender oil and application in aromatherapy. In this synopsis, I would like to describe in brief about the contents of the book and usage.

It is very important to identify exact botanical species, before it is considered for commercial cultivation, so that one can work towards supplying optimal growth conditions for the plant. In this respect, this book is very helpful, because, it includes many illustrations and photos for easy understanding and I am sure they will help in identifying the said species.Read more ›
