Lavender

has been a pillar of the essential oil and perfumery universe for aeons and its chronicle can be drawn back beyond the Royal Families of Egypt and the sages of Ancient Greece.

The Oil Basic Principles 

Lavender oil is an key oil acquired by distillate from the bloom spikes 

of particular species of lavender. Two forms are recognized, lavender flower oil, a neutral oil, 

insoluble in water, having a denseness of 0.885 g/mL; and lavender spike oil, a distillation from the herb 

Lavandula latifolia, having denseness 0.905 g/mL. 

When buying Lavender check to determine which you are acquiring – Lavender Essential Oil or Lavender Spike Essential Oil – both are outstanding but loan themselves to slightly different usage (See below) 

The Spike Oil has a slightly firmer bouquet, with a top peppery note which is absent from the Lavender Flower Oil and lends itself more to the stimulant essences of the oil.

You only need to search on the shelves in Boots, Marks and Spencers and The Body Shop to see a myriad of suggested functions for the Lavender aroma, but traditionally it has been its becalming and restful, as well as its ability to trim tension and anxiety,
