Tales from Nature
The common name "lavender," by which we usually call this plant, comes from the Latin word "lavare"(lavandus, lavender, lavandum = "that is to be washed"), as it was widely used in ancient times to cleanse the body.
It was used as an ingredient in the preparation of talismans and good luck charms, in magical and esoteric rituals, both as a perfume for water and rooms, as in Roman times, especially in thermal waters and in the preparation of infusions for the beauty of hair and skin.
Lavender flowers have the special feature that they continue to smell fragrant even when dried, which is why they are often used to scent linens. Today Lavender is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, herbal medicine and phytotherapy. A valuable Essential Oil is extracted from it.
