Spike Lavender, and with a high
percentage of 1,8- Cineole and Camphor, this species of Lavender stands out
amongst the rest. These constituents are often likened to oils such as
Eucalyptus, Peppermint, and Ravintsara, and have similar benefits, such as
helping to relieve coughs, clear congestion, and promote easy breathing. With
its high percentage of Linalool, Spike Lavender is also frequently used for its
stress relieving, pain reducing, headache helping, and anti-inflammatory
properties. The aroma of Spike Lavender is a combination of both traditional
Lavender, and the sharp, medicinal, camphoraceous aroma of Eucalyptus.
The term “Aromatherapie,” or
Aromatherapy in English was created by French chemist, René-Maurice Gattefossé,
in the early 1900s. Gattefossé became the poster child of Lavender essential
oil. His name and famous incident are well known amongst aromatherapists. One
day, while Gattefossé was working in his lab, his hand was badly burned by an
explosion that occurred. Gattefossé was able to successfully treat the gangrene
that resulted from the burn with Lavender essential oil. Following this event,
Lavender essential oil has been researched and studied a multitudinous amount
of times.
Lavender oil is extracted mostly from the flowers of the lavender plant, primarily through steam distillation.

Organ-specific effects
·
Adverse skin reactions: Undiluted spike
lavender oil was moderately irritating to rabbits; tested at 8% on 25
volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. In a study of 200
consecutive dermatitis patients, one (0.5%) was sensitive to 2% spike lavender
oil on patch testing. Oxidation products of linalool may be skin sensitizing,
but 1,8-cineole has antioxidant properties.
·
Reproductive toxicity: The low
reproductive toxicity of linalool, 1,8-cineole and camphor suggests that spike
lavender oil is not hazardous in pregnancy.
Systemic effects

Acute toxicity: Spike lavender oil acute
oral LD50 in rats 3.8 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits >2 g/kg. Camphor
