It is grown in a unique climate and elevation exclusively in the Kashmir Region of the Himalayas. 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.

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).” Suggested Uses / Recipes: Combine Lavender essential oil and Bergamot essential oil with a carrier oil or lotion of your choice or add to bath water, salts or scrubs to improve your skin care regimen and aid skin conditions.
