Indigenous to the Mediterranean region. In ancient Greece and Rome, Lavender was considered precious and was often used to symbolise luxury or to recognise outstanding achievement. The flower stalks were woven into crowns bestowed on high ranking citizens during celebrations. The homemakers also included the flowers in rinsing water to impart its lovely scent to household items; not knowing that they were in fact disinfecting!

Lavender was used during the medieval times to purify air in musty sick rooms, and as a “strewing herb” (scattered around on the ground as an air freshener). It was then that there was a general sense that the presence of Lavender was healthful, and it was then used to dress battlefield wounds.
