Spike Lavender Essential Oil- It Purifies and Cleans for You!
Spike Lavender was originally called Spikenard, and was supposedly taken from the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve. It was recorded throughout history, from the ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians and Egyptians, and was used for purification and perfume. The Greeks and Romans bathed in lavender water and used it to freshen the air. Although Spike Lavender is a member of the Lavender family, because it grows in the lower altitude areas of Spain and France, it has more of a camphor, menthol or eucalyptus aroma, rather than what we usually recognize as lavender. This makes Spike Lavender widely used for purification purposes, like air fresheners, soap and laundry products, and disinfectants. Today, we use lavender in everything from air fresheners to soaps and detergents, and when it comes to essential oil, it’s one of the most valued for its many beneficial properties.
Spike Lavender is useful in many ways, especially for health and beauty products and household cleaners. Here are a few ways you can use Spike Lavender essential oil:
Tip: Mix a few drops of Spike Lavender oil with coconut oil and some cornstarch, and use as a natural, and very effective, deodorant. The lavender smells great, and you may find you have to apply even less often than your usual deodorant!
