THE AMERICAN CLUB

JUL / AUG 2017

sên is happy to introduce an extensive range of organic Body, Skincare and Lifestyle products

by Le Château du Bois.

Lavender is one of the most popular essential oils in aromatherapy use. But not all lavender

oils are created equal – you might be surprised to learn that some lavender oils are not what

you thought they were!

In aromatherapy, when we talk about lavender, we usually refer to Lavandula Angustifolia,

which is commonly known as ‘True lavender’. Some lavender essential oils are actually

Lavandula Latifolia, which is lavendin – a completely different plant. Both have their

advantages, however true lavender is in a class of its own.

What is the difference?
