Essential Oil – Lavandin

• A sharp, piercing, and fresh-floral aroma.
• Compared to the soft, powdery sweetness of True Lavender, Lavandin is intensely herbaceous and camphorous.
• It has a "cool" nasal-clearing quality and a distinct medicinal undertone.
• It smells like a more "energetic" and "rugged" version of lavender—less like a perfume and more like a botanical clearing agent.

• Relieving Muscular Aches: The presence of camphor makes it a mild rubefacient, providing a warming sensation that eases sore, overworked muscles.
• Easing Cramps & Spasms: Effective for abdominal cramps and general muscle spasms due to its antispasmodic properties.
• Circulatory Tonic: Helps stimulate blood flow when used in massage, making it excellent for "pre-workout" blends to wake up the muscles.
• Sports Injury Support: Used to reduce the discomfort of sprains and strains by cooling the inflammation while warming the tissue.

Respiratory & Immune Support

• Powerful Expectorant: Excellent for breaking up phlegm and mucus. It is much more effective than True Lavender for chest congestion and productive coughs.
• Sinus Clearing: The sharp, penetrating aroma helps open blocked nasal passages and provides relief from sinus pressure.
• Airborne Antimicrobial: Frequently diffused to help purify the air and prevent the spread of seasonal germs in the home or office.

First Aid & Hygiene

• Wound Disinfectant: Its strong antiseptic properties make it a great choice for cleaning minor cuts, scratches, and abrasions.
• Insect Repellent & Relief: Effectively repels flies and mosquitoes; if bitten, it helps neutralize the itch and prevent localized infection.
• Fungal Protection: Often used in foot baths or shoe sprays to combat athlete's foot and other fungal skin irritations.
• Natural Deodorizer: Due to its high scent intensity, it is one of the best oils for neutralizing tough household or laundry odors.

Emotional Vitality & Focus

• Combatting "Brain Fog": Unlike True Lavender which can be "sleepy," Lavandin is refreshing. it clears mental clutter and provides a gentle energy boost.
• Calmness Under Pressure: Helps soothe the nervous system during stressful situations without making the user feel overly drowsy.
• Lifting Lethargy: A favorite for those who feel emotionally "stagnant" or physically tired but still need to remain productive.

• Because of its camphor content, Lavandin should be used with caution around young children and those with epilepsy.
• It is not as effective as True Lavender for treating minor burns (camphor can actually irritate a burn).
• Always dilute to 1–3% for topical use.
