About Lavender
Romans used Lavender Oil to massage and heal the skin and to repel insects. There are even several references to Lavender in the Bible. The Queen of Sheba offered King Salomon "spike," an early name for Lavender. In France, Lavender Flowers were strewn on the floor to freshen the air and mask stinking smells of the unsanitary streets. In the 16th century, Queen Elizabeth I drank 10 cups of Lavender tea a day to ward off headaches and promote her sense of well being. The history of Lavender's benefits is long and well documented.
