LAVENDER SPIKE
lavandula latifolia {10ml}
Product Summary
Lavender Spike s native to France, Spain, Italy, and the Balkans. It grows at low altitudes whereas “true” lavender grows at higher altitudes. Where these two lavenders meet, you will find naturally occurring hybrids known as Lavendins.*
Lavender Spike is unique among lavenders in that it contains cineole which gives it many of the beneficial properties of eucalyptus, but in a softer, more tolerable form. It is ideal for upper respiratory issues as it breaks up phlegm and opens airways. It can decongest and soothe sore muscles.*
Lavender Spike is more antiseptic due to the cineole and camphor content, and is often used in hand soaps and for wound healing. It blends well with Lemon, Tea Tree, and Eucalyptus Radiata, and can make a multi-use cleanser and air purifier that will keep your home germ-free and smelling fresh.*
Lavender Spike can be blended with Rosemary 1,8 cineole, and diluted can be
helpful to massage into sore muscles. Spike Lavender has a more robust energy than true Lavender and is more stimulating. Not recommended for use before going to bed.*
