Product Story
Traditionally used to treat burns, lavender is one
of history’s most celebrated and versatile essential
oils. In ancient Greece, Pedanius Dioscorides,
a physician, pharmacologist, and botanist, extolled
the medicinal qualities of lavender. Greeks
also used lavender as a perfume. The Romans
used lavender in their baths for washing, for its
healing and antiseptic qualities, and to deter
insects. The Egyptians used lavender as an ingredient
in incense and perfume. Queen Elizabeth
I used lavender as a tea to treat her frequent
migraines.
Following a laboratory explosion that severely
burned his arm, a French scientist named Rene
Gattefosse was the first modern scientist to
document lavender’s ability to promote tissue
regeneration.
Today, we use lavender as a tea, to dress wounds,
to induce sleep, ease depression, and reduce
stress. Lavender oil is one of the safest essential
oils and can be used in full strength on the skin.
