Lavandin Grosso - Lavendula hybrid

History: This plant originated in this century and has no history. It has become so popular that people often mistake if for true lavender. Lavandin is a cross between true lavender (L. augustifolia) and spike lavender (L. latifolia)

Characteristics: A top note with a strong aroma, Lavandin Oil has a strong, somewhat piercing, camphor-like smell with some light, floral undertones characteristic of Lavender.

Clinical Studies:

Indications: Similar uses to true lavender, except Lavandin is more penetrating and rubefacient with a sharper scent.  It is a fine oil especially if you have lung and sinus issues. Lavandin Oil clears mucus and phlegm from the respiratory system. It also heals wounds and has anti-scar properties.
