 Pure Essential oil Lavandin grosso
 

Botanical Name: Lavendin super Method of Extraction: Steam Lavendin is a hybrid lavender from which the flowers, leaves and stem are steam distilled. Its main country of origin is France. Some of the chemical components are borneol, camphor, cineol, and geraniol. This plant is the product of cross-pollination of true lavender with spike lavender by pollinating bees! The bushes of this genus of lavender have larger deeper blue flowers that yield a larger amount of oil than true lavender. It is of importance to note that Lavendin should not be confused with lavender, as each oil has differing characteristics. Lavendin is not as sedating as true lavender. This would make it good to use during the day where you may have used lavender but didn't want the sedating action. It is a great oil to use for inhalation (steam) when you have a cold, sinusitis or any other respiratory condition. Because of its rubefacient and analgesic properties, Lavendin can also be very helpful for relieving muscular pain and stiffness, as well as headaches. Because of its camphor content, this lavender is NOT to be used on burns. Blends well with clove, bay, cinnamon, citronella, cypress, geranium, patchouli, pine and thyme.
