Our Spike Lavender Essential Oil, produced from flowers growing in France, is a slightly sharper cousin to 'True' Lavender. Native to the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean, it appears as a cross between Lavender and Sage - and in fact, that is a fine description of its aroma.

Lavender oil is the most versatile aromatic used in aromatherapy today, often called 'medicine chest in a bottle' - no wonder it is suggested it be included in every aromatherapy kit. The spike Lavender variety may be the more 'medicinal' of the lavenders, with a more powerful antiseptic action. It is noted to have bactericidal, antiviral, cytophylactic, decongestant, and expectorant properties - it can be of use in upper respiratory conditions in a diffuser.

Like other lavenders, the oil may be an effective wound/burn healer. It has been reported to be a cerebral-spinal tranquilizer, though it is also noted as an antidepressant, bringing calm while also uplifting.

The essential oil is a nearly colorless, with a fresh, floral-herbaceous clear scent and a slight woody undertone. Spike lavender can be mixed in a water or spray bottle and used on the skin as a natural astringent. This

Spike lavender is listed in the British Pharmacopoeia, supportive of cases flatulent dyspepsia, colic, depressive headaches, and describes the use of the oil topically for rheumatic pain. The oil may also have analgesic and anti-inflammatory applications, for infections in general, and is suited for children.
