Lavender has been heralded for centuries as the ‘Mother of all Essential Oils‘ due to its reported antibacterial, anti-fungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Grown and used for centuries and used as a traditional herbal medicine to ward off germs and encourage healing, there is mention of Lavender being used as far back as the ancient Egyptians, for mummification and perfume.
Romans used lavender oils for bathing and scenting the air and carried it with them throughout the Roman Empire! The name “Lavender” is derived from the Latin verb lavare—which means, “to wash”…. time to get your Lavender soaps everyone!
Elizabeth I was even recorded as carrying ‘posies of Lavender’ and having the flowers scattered before her to protect her from the smell and infections of the plague.. and Queen Victoria boosted the popularity of the herb when she decreed it should be strewn around her palace floors.
A truly magical plant, our Castle Farm Lavender has a sweet, gentle fragrance and is therapeutic in nature.
