LAVENDER HYDROSOL

Let's Get to Know Lavender:

Lavender is the common name for plant species of Mediterranean origin that make up the genus Lavandula, belonging to the Lamiaceae family. Lavender grows in mountains, at altitudes of 1000-1800 meters.

Lavender is thought to have originated on the Greek islands and then been brought to France around 600 BC. It spread to other countries, including England and the United States, during the 17th century.

Lavender is an evergreen plant that has won people's admiration for its potent properties. The word itself comes from the Latin word "lavare," meaning "to wash, to cleanse." In the ancient world, it was valued for its distinctive aroma, beauty, and vast health benefits.

Lavender is still used worldwide for both medicinal and recreational purposes. Aromatherapy, in particular, has become widespread in recent years for those seeking to reduce stress and pain.

Throughout history, lavender has been used primarily in religious rituals or medicinal treatments. Lavender is frequently associated with love, having been used throughout ancient times as a romantic gift or aphrodisiac.

The Greek physician Dioscorides wrote in his medical journals that he used lavender orally to treat indigestion, sore throats, and headaches. He also mentioned that it could be used to prevent infection of external wounds.

King Charles VI of France, like many members of royalty who had access to lavender, preferred to have fresh lavender in his pillowcase to help him sleep better.

Although the concept of "antimicrobial" wasn't fully understood in ancient times, many have noticed connections between the use of lavender and the treatment of common illnesses.

In the 16th century, lavender was often hung on doorframes to prevent disease from entering buildings due to its antimicrobial properties.

In the 19th century, travelers sold lavender on the streets throughout Europe to ward off bad luck and bring good fortune.

Lavender has also been used by newlyweds to represent romance and good luck in love. Traditionally, lavender was placed under the beds of newlyweds to ignite passion.
