Organic Alternative? Yes, Certified Organic Lavender Essential Oil [USDA Organic] History/Fun Fact: Lavender is one of the rarest and treasured oils in the world and is most well known for its sweet floral scent. Lavender is one of the strewing herbs used in the Middle Ages to help with bacteria, insects, and as a disinfectant. It may have been used to help assuage symptoms of colds and flu and other ailments. It was used in a pot on the open hearth and simmered, and also was good for getting rid of some of the aromas that were inherent before the advent of septic systems. Lavender flowers were also used in mattresses and on floors to help mitigate any unsavory odors that may arise. “In 1910 French chemist and scholar René-Maurice Gattefossé discovered the virtues of the essential oil of lavender. He was in his lab when he accidentally burned himself badly due to an explosion. Both of his hands were covered with a rapidly developing gas gangrene. He treated his wound with lavender essence which stopped the gasification of the tissue and was followed by healing the following day (Gattefossé R-M, Tisserand RB (ed.) 1993).” Blends Well With: Just about any other essential oil.
