🌿 SPIKE LAVENDER
A little seasonal aromatherapy education 🌿
Did you know Spike Lavender is quite different from the softer, sweeter True Lavender?
Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia) has a fresher, sharper, more camphoraceous aroma and is traditionally valued for its fresh, clearing qualities. 🌿
A client arrived today for her usual back massage, but she was full of the cold.
Rather than asking her body to do too much, we kept things gentle with a short reflexology session instead.
I used Spike Lavender around the reflex areas for the lungs, chest, sinuses and lymphatics, creating a lovely fresh and comforting experience.
Sometimes the most therapeutic thing we can do is less.
I love using aromatherapy thoughtfully to support rest, relaxation and wellbeing.
NOTE ❣️ Spike Lavender does have some safety considerations, so it’s one to use with care and knowledge. If you have any questions, just comment below and I’ll do my best to help you. 💜
