Mystical and magical lavender has its roots deeply embedded in the Mediterranean, Middle East and India, with history dating back 2500 years. Lavender is a flowering plant of the mint family known for its beauty, its sweet floral fragrance and its multiple culinary and medicinal uses. 

It was the ancient Greeks who called Lavender ‘Nardus’, after the Syrian city of Naarda. Lavender was one of the herbs used to prepare the Holy Essence and Nard, or ‘spikenard’ as mentioned in the bible in the ‘Song of Solomon’. 

Lavender derives its name from the Latin ‘lavare’ which means ‘to wash’, and it was Romans who used Lavender to scent their baths, beds, clothes and hair. Lavender oil was used to seduce. I believe this flower was a favorite of queen Victoria who not only carried little posies to smell, but also often took to seeping distilled lavender water to calm her nerves.  

In the language of flowers, it is said to represent distrust all on account of an old myth in which it was believed that venomous snakes hid within the lavender bush.
