~ LAVANDIN ~

Lavandula x intermedia is quickly becoming a popular ‘Lavender’ species on the market. It can sometimes be found as Dutch Lavender, but is often sold as Lavender. We are slowly seeing it labeled properly as Lavandin. These bluish-purple flowers are brighter than the English Lavender. Lavandin has an equally characteristic sweet floral lavender aroma, with a slight camphor note. The German Commission E approves lavender flowers for promoting both a healthy mood and healthy circulation. The scent of Lavender has been shown to have positive effects on mood within specific adult populations and can help to alleviate mild feelings of agitation or distress. As a spice, Lavender is best known as an essential ingredient in French cuisine and is an integral part of herbs de Provence seasoning blends.

Lavender can be used on its own to add a delightful floral flavor to desserts, meats, and breads. The flowers can also be layered with sugar to infuse it with their distinctive aroma for use in cookies and candies. Similar to cilantro, some individuals perceive the taste of lavender as undesirable in cuisine. An estimated 10% of the population perceives Lavender as having a soapy, unsavory flavor. For this reason, it may be wise to exercise caution while using Lavender as a flavoring agent. Lavender has been thought for centuries to arouse passions as an aphrodisiac, and is still one of the most recognized scents in the world.

In magick, Lavender is ruled by Mercury and Air, making it an excellent herb for improving communication at all times. In relationships, work, or even public speaking, it is also a good herb to use in spells when you feel stuck and need help finding your way out of difficult situations or a new perspective.
