Lavender

Lavender is cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant, as a culinary herb and for the extraction of essential oils prized for their therapeutic properties. These oils are commonly used to help alleviate anxiety, treat minor infections and wounds, ease pain and support hair care. Valued for its delicate fragrance, lavender is also appreciated for its versatility across a wide range of applications.

To experience the many benefits of lavender first-hand, visitors to Azerbaijan can explore the “Essenso” lavender plantation, located in the north-west of Gabala at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains. Spanning 30 hectares, the farm lies in the village of Chukhur Gabala.
