Spike lavender oil

Description

Spike lavender is yet another variety of lavender that produces a more potent oil. Spike lavender is a potent variety that grows wild on sunny, rocky slopes in the Mediterranean region. Unlike the better-known 'true' lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Spike Lavender grows at lower altitudes, mainly in countries such as Spain, Portugal and parts of France. It has a high vibration and, on an energetic level, this lavender is a lovely choice. It raises the vibration of your aura, which is beneficial when you’re doing energy work. The oil is extracted via steam distillation from the flowering tops of the plant. The scent is more herbaceous, fresher and slightly more camphor-like than the softer, floral scent of true lavender. This is because Spike Lavender naturally contains a higher level of camphor, alongside cineole and linalool. Otherwise, its uses are the same as those of Lavender Augustofolia.

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.
