History and Traditions
The ancient Greeks called Lavender Nardus, after the Syrian city of Naarda and were commonly called Nard… Lavender derives its name from the Latin “Lavare” meaning “to wash”. Medicinal and insecticidal properties were recognized early and have been largely vindicated since.
In 1937 at the court of Charles VI of France, all the cushions were stuffed with lavender both for its pleasant scent and to deter insects. It was an essential ingredient of “Four Thieves’ Vinegar”, which is supposed to have given immunity to those who robbed the bodies of plague victims.
William Turner had the idea “that the flowers of Lavender quilted in a cap and daily worn are good for all diseases of the head that come of a cold cause and that they comfort the brain.
In the early years of this century, Rene Gattefosse, one of the founders of aromatherapy, discovered the power of lavender when his badly burned hand was healed after it had been immersed in neat essential oil of lavender. And since then, modern scientific research has established the antiseptic, antibacterial properties of this herb.
