A lavander field in Provence (Southern France)
In the Jungle Kitchen, we love entheogens and medicine plants. That´s why we are devoted to ayahuasca and other natural forms of dmt. However I have always being keen in essential oils and their power and how they interact with the human body and spirt. Lavandula (common name lavender) is a genus of 47 known species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found from Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, Europe across to northern and eastern Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to southeast India. Many members of the genus are cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants for garden and landscape use, for use as culinary herbs, and also commercially for the extraction of essential oils. The most widely cultivated species, Lavandula angustifolia, is often referred to as lavender, and there is a color named for the shade of the flowers of this species. Balancing, soothing, clarifying, normalizing are the qualities of this wonderful oil. Lavender essential oil has a light fresh aroma, its scent being described as floral-herbaceous, light, clear, balsamic, with woody undertones, and a camphor note.
