Fine Lavender essential oil, in detail
Lavender remains the most renowned and most used essential oil.
The use of Lavender has evolved significantly over the centuries:
The Romans were already using its aromatic qualities to scent their clothes and baths.
Its name comes from the Latin « lavare », which means « to wash ». The French term « lavandière » comes from the addition of lavender to laundry water to scent the clothes.
In the Middle Ages, its disinfectant properties were also exploited through fumigation.
In French hospitals, essential oils, including lavender oil, have long been used to sanitize and purify the air (thus contributing to the fight against microbial and fungal infections).
It is also used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine to relieve depressive states and by Tibetan Buddhist doctors to treat certain mental disorders.
