Lavandula latifolia
5-12€ / 10ml
Spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia) grows lower than true lavender, in the low-altitude garrigues of France, Spain and Portugal. Its name comes from the asp viper, because it was traditionally used to treat snake bites. It is the quintessential EMERGENCY essential oil: insect stings, jellyfish stings, minor burns. Provencal beekeepers use it to soothe bee stings.
Spike lavender contains camphor and 1,8-cineole in addition to linalool -- unlike true lavender which does not. These molecules give it rapid antitoxic and analgesic action, but also make it more irritating and contraindicated in children and epileptics.
