Lavender Oil
Lavender is one of history's most popular scented herbs associated
with love and healing. Its use as perfume and a medicinal herb dates
back to ancient times. Lavender was used by the Romans and Greeks
as an antiseptic, pain reliever and insect repellant to name just
a few medicinal applications. In love, lavender was used for perfume,
scenting bath water, scenting the air and to heighten romance.
