Lavender History
Native to the Mediterranean, lavender has been used for centuries to refresh and purify the spirit as well as heal the skin. The name lavender comes from the Latin word lavare, which means “to wash.”
The Egyptian pharaohs used lavender as a perfume and fragrance, and the Greeks used lavender to scent
their bathwater.
During the Middle Ages, lavender gained a reputation as an herbal “cupid” and aphrodisiac, and ever since, lavender has been a beloved herb used to soothe the
mind and the spirit.
