A GLIMPSE INTO THE HISTORY OF LAVENDER
The Latin name lavender is a gerund from the verb to wash –
lavare, as its flower was used to scent water used in the
laundry
Its ear was considered to be a amulet that protected against
adversity, **possessions and demons. It was a talisman
that inclined fate towards prosperity and fertility.
The scent of lavender, together with its charm, made it an emblem of virtue and
purity of soul, but also of baptism.
Lavender through the ages
Lavender has been used as an herb in the treatment of the
sick by the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs. It was often grown
near laundries and used to scent floors, where it was used to
kill insects, including fleas, bedbugs and lice. It is also
still put in cupboards today as protection against moths.
The Egyptians used lavender for mummification and as a
perfume. When King Tutankhamun's tomb was opened in 1923, the
faint scent of lavender was said to be detectable even after 3,000 years.
In the Bible, lavender oil was used for salving and healing.
The Romans used lavender oil for bathing, cooking and purifying
the air.
It was recommended by St. Hildegard of Bingen, who advised using it to
keep a pure character, and in 1660 Richard Surflet wrote that
distilled water from lavender flowers would restore lost speech and heal the
sullen and diseased heart.
The magical power of lavender
Lavender has also had magical powers throughout history –
in Rome, people would take a sprig of lavender on Saint
John's Night to witch away witches, in Tuscany it was
effective against bewitching children, in Calabria women
attributed to it the power to protect them from their
husband's abuse.
In the Middle Ages, it was said to be an aphrodisiac to ensure
fidelity and attract lovers.
According to another source, English farmers were said to wear lavender flowers
under their hats because they believed it would help with headaches and
heatstroke.
Cosmetic purposes
Early and modern texts on aromatherapy mention the use of lavender as an
antibacterial essential oil.
The leaves and stems of the plant were also used to make decoctions for
digestive diseases and rheumatism, and lavender was valued for its cosmetic
purposes.
Lavender was also part of the Eau de Cologne, the
Cologne, first blended in 1709 by the Italian G. M. Farina in
Cologne, Germany.
