This Lavender is grown at low altitudes in Spain. It is much higher in camphor than standard lavender and has a sharp, fresh aroma. It is therefore more suited to stimulating rather than relaxing and helps to promote alertness and clarity of mind. It can be very beneficial and soothing when applied to sore muscles and joints. It is also a great oil to use in a steam bath or diffuser during the winter months. Helps to promote clear breathing by providing a clean and fresh environment. Useful on oily skin types, also good for hair and scalp health.
