Lavender oil is extracted from lavender plant flowers, and has traditionally been used in the making of perfumes. Lavare is the Latin name of lavender, and it means ìto wash,î indicating the clean aroma of lavender.
Lavender has been used for over 2,500 yearsófrom those living in ancient civilizations clear up through today. In fact, Ancient Persians, Greeks and Romans added lavender flowers to their bathwater in order to help wash and purify their skin, while Phoenicians, Arabians and Egyptians used lavender as a perfume as well as the mummification process.
Likewise, in ancient Greece and Rome, lavender was regarded as an all-around ìhealth supporter,î and in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, lavender was often scattered on stone floors in castlesóused as a disinfectant and deodorant.
