Essential Oils – Lavender
Lavender has been a linchpin of the essential oil and perfumery world for aeons and its chronicle can be observed back beyond the Pharoahs of Egypt and the ancients of Early Greece. Looking around the ledges of any high street storehouse it can be picked up in plenty – aromatizing talcs, soaps, shampoos, air freshners, and a million an one varying products. So this oil has a definite point on the shelves of whatever oil devotee or aromatherapy practitioner! The Oil Basics Lavender oil is an important oil acquired by distillation from the flower spikes of particular species of lavender. Two varieties are all-important, lavender flower oil, a clear oil, insoluble in water, having a density of 0.885 g/mL; and lavender spike oil, a distillation from the herb Lavandula latifolia, having concentration 0.905 g/mL. When buying Lavender watch to ensure which you are receiving – Lavender Essential Oil or Lavender Spike Essential Oil – both are top-notch but lend themselves to slightly diverse usage (See below) The Spike Oil has a somewhat hotter aroma, with a top hot note which is lacking from the Lavender Flower Oil and loans itself more to the stimulative effects of the oil. Handed-down Aromatherapy Recommended Usages You only need to look along the shelves in Boots, Marks and Spencers and The Body Shop to see a host of suggested functions for the Lavender fragrance, but traditionally it has been its lulling and relaxing, as well as its ability to scale down tension and anxiousness, characters which have been held up as its widest use.
