Ardèche Lavandin oil

Ardèche lavandin is a hybrid of true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia), and combines the best of both worlds: the soft, floral scent of true lavender with the fresh, herbaceous undertone of camphor.
This Lavandin is grown in the sunny, rugged hills of the Ardèche – a region in the south of France renowned for its beautiful lavender fields and artisanal distillers. Thanks to the warm climate and mineral-rich soil, this Lavendin develops a strong aroma and powerful effects.
The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering tops and contains higher levels of camphor and cineole, which give it a more stimulating effect than true lavender. If you find true lavender too overpowering, Lavandin is a good alternative. Lavandin has the same properties as true lavender.

View of humanity

The driving force behind the lavender type is “I’m not good enough”, which often has its roots in childhood. This is because these people often to be highly sensitive Because of parents who have high expectations of their children, which those children have been unable to fulfil. People like this carry this feeling of not being good enough with them throughout their lives and feel, time and again, that they are falling short in the eyes of those around them. They feel guilty and believe they are not a good spouse or a good parent. This is often accompanied by a rejection of their own body, and they are unable to feel at ease in their everyday environment or in their sexuality. These people have a choice and will first need to let go of the past in order to rediscover their true selves.
