the power of lavender

The historic use and recognition of lavender dates back over 2,500 years. Used by the Egyptians, Phoenicians and people of Arabia, lavender became a prized commodity in Roman times where it was given its name from the Latin 'lavare' meaning 'to wash'.

Over the years, the flower's soothing 'tonic' qualities have led to lavender's reputation as a herbal medicine. For soothing and relaxing qualities, few herbs are claimed as effective. Widely used as a herbal medicine, the power of lavender addresses an array of lifestyle needs - from helping reduce anxiety and relaxing muscle tension through to soothing head aches and other skin complaints.
