Lavandin, is a hybrid plant relatively new in use. It comes from
crossing true lavender with spike lavender. Its uses in
aromatherapy are similar to those of true lavender.
Lavender, is an anciently know and used plant, one of the best
general all around essential oils and one of the few that can be
used "neat".
Spike Lavender, is another essential oil with similar properties
as true lavender.
As Lavender essential oil is so multipurpose, easy to use, with
few contraindications, it is in high demand. On occasion it becomes
short in supply and the prices of good essential lavender oils can
become very high. Spike Lavender and now Lavandin are less
expensive and yet have very similar uses to true lavender.
