The Story:
Its long stems grow in large round tufts. The floral ear of light blue, dark blue or purple lavender is long and has more flowers than lavender.
Its essential oil is low in camphor. Discovered in 1955, this variety is widely used by perfumers. Lavandins are reproduced from cuttings and the plants are developed in nurseries. A plantation lasts about ten years, then must be replaced by other crops for a period of time.
Lavender essential oil, with its very fine fragrance, has many properties. Widely used by athletes for its calming and relaxing action on muscles, it has properties similar to those of the essential oil of fine lavender.

Uses :
In infusion: For its calming and relaxing properties.
To do this, mix 3 to 4 drops in a litre of warm, non-boiling water. Indeed, water that is too hot tends to evaporate the essential oil too quickly and could also degrade the essential oil and its components, making it less effective. It is important to dilute the essential oil in honey or on a sugar cube which you will then add in warm water, in order to unify the mixture. Once your preparation is done, you can enjoy your tea for a moment of relaxation, at any time of the day.
Atmospheric diffusion: To clean and purify the atmosphere of your home, but also to create a floral atmosphere and thus perfume a room.
Depending on the diffusers and the size of the room, pour between 5 and 30 drops, and allow 30 minutes for a large room and about 15 minutes for a bedroom. In all cases, comply with the instructions for the device used.
In cosmetics: In particular, it soothes problem skin and dermatoses, and repairs and strengthens nails and skin.
Lavandin Super essential oil is used very diluted in a rich vegetable oil to provide a soothing and relaxing massage. Pour 4 drops of essential oil for 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil of your choice and massage gently into the area concerned. The massage is performed preferably on the solar plexus, stomach, lower abdomen or lumbar vertebrae depending on the problems.
