lavender Essential oil

Spike Lavender essential oil is used in aromatherapy for similar benefits as true Lavender. It is a more forceful Lavender oil than true Lavender oil as it has a high percentage of the chemical component of oxides; oxides are known to be stimulating in their action and it is for this reason perhaps that Culpeper recommended careful use of it, indicating that a few drops were sufficient.

True Lavender essential oil is mainly composed of the chemical component of esters and is therefore a gentle, balancing oil. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, antiseptic and a good skin rejuvenator. It is useful in easing muscle pain, headaches, insomnia, burns and women's problems. It can also be used as a deodorant and an insecticide.
