An Ancestral use for our Lavender Essential Oils
Lavender essential oil remains the best known and most used in the world. The Romans already took advantage of the aromatic qualities of Lavender to perfume their clothes and their baths. Its name is also derived from the Latin "lavare", meaning "to wash". The term “washerwoman” comes from the fact that Lavender was added to the laundry water in order to perfume the clothes. In the Middle Ages, its disinfectant properties were used in fumigation. At the beginning of the 20th century, René-Maurice Gattefossé, a perfumer-chemist, who had burned his hands during an explosion in his laboratory, prevented gangrene from setting in by immersing them in a container containing oil essential Lavender. In French hospitals, Lavender essential oils have long been used to sanitize and purify the air, which was known to help in the fight against microbial and fungal infections.
Its numerous indications and its great sweetness make the essential oil of fine Lavender from Haute-Provence one of the flagships of modern aromatherapy. It is also used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine to relieve depressive states as well as by Tibetan Buddhist doctors to treat certain mental disorders..
