The Oil Fundamental Principles 

Lavender oil is an key oil acquired by distillment from the flower spikes 

of distinct species of lavender. Two forms are distinguished, lavender flower oil, a colorless oil, 

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

Lavandula latifolia, having concentration 0.905 g/mL. 

When buying Lavender ensure to watch which you are taking – Lavender Essential Oil or Lavender Spike Essential Oil – both are splendid but bestow themselves to slightly diverse usage (See below) 

The Spike Oil has a slightly sharper aroma, with a top peppery note which is lacking from the Lavender Flower Oil and loans itself more to the stimulative forces of the oil. 

Conventional Aromatherapy Advocated Practices 

You only need to search on the shelves in Boots, Marks and Spencers and The Body Shop to see a wealth of suggested usages for the Lavender perfume, but traditionally it has been its quietening and relaxing, as well as its ability to cut down stress and anxiousness, 

tones which have been held as its foremost use. 

One or two drops on an oil burner can create a chilling out effect within a room. 

One or two drops on a tissue paper which is then laid under the pillow can aid a slumberous nights sleep 

Put a couple of drops into the final rinse or your wash to give oyur washing a sweet natural and clean scent 

Put a couple of drops of the Lavender Oil into a carrier oil and coalesce. Then add a few drops to your bathwater and delight an indulgant relaxing soak. 

A few drops on a material which is then placed in your vaccuum bags will serve odourise the room whils toyu do the housekeeping. 

When analyzing add four or five pearls to an oil burner to stimulate and freshen up the mind and increase watchfulness!
