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.
