My name is Pepper, and I'm a donkey. I live and work in the Finca Sant Blai, in Mallorca (www.santblai.com) as the PR and Marketing manager.
I am now developeing new projects and plans to improve the place and to be able to combine the quality and relaxed stay at the hotel with something else, something special, and I have had a great Idea. I would like to surround Sant Blai with colourful, scented Lavender fields, where our guests will be able to walk around and where there can enjoy relaxing, de-stress areas within the Lavender’s beautiful plants. Why? The Lavender is more than a pretty flower, it is also therapeutic. The herb lavender (Lavandula officinalis) originated in the Mediterranean basin. Because of its pleasant fragrance and medicinal benefits, people moving from the region frequently transplanted it to their new homelands. Today lavender is found worldwide, where it remains a mainstay in aromatherapy, floral remedies, and herbal medicine. A sturdy flowering perennial with a distinct woody scent, lavender is a welcome addition to any autoimmune disease healing protocol. Although the plant, flowers and seeds all have the distinct lavender scent, the oil derived from the flowers is the most important medical component.
Lavender oil contains several distinct chemicals with healing properties that complement one another. Consequently, lavender oil has a broad range of healing properties including antiseptic properties, which also make it an excellent general cleaning agent when diluted in warm water. Lavender is one of the few essential oils that can also be applied directly to the skin undiluted.
In aromatherapy, lavender is used for treating depression, amenorrhea, burns, acne, rashes, arthritis, athlete's foot, carpal tunnel syndrome, psoriasis, vaginitis, insomnia, pain, palpitations, anxiety and nervousness. As massage oil, lavender relaxes muscles and eases tension. Lavender oil is used in diffusers, salves, bath products, and undiluted as a topical essential oil. Lavender oil should not be taken internally.
This is why I feel that to spend a week or so here and ejoy these many benefits of the lavander can make you healthier and happier, as well as it will be the most perfect de-stress thereapy.
We have an idyllic setting and with this project, it will be just perfect.
However, it is not an easy set up, either economically (as a complete infra-structure needs to be established) as well as the need of knowledge about the whole Lavender plantation set-up. That's why I would like to ask you for help, either in advices and knowledge, or in funds to support the project.
I would like to make something very special here, but I need help! If you have any possiblity to help, please contact me! Thank you for your time!
