History:

The Granddaddy of essential oils, Lavender has been used for thousands of years by a host of civilizations. The ancient Greeks used it as a cure for everything from insomnia to pain; the Romans infused their bath water with its flowers, giving Lavender its name, from lavare—the Latin word for wash.
