Historical notes: As a herb, lavender has been in a documented use for over 2,500 years. It is believed that after being first domesticated by Arabs it spread to Greece and then, around 600 BC, to Europe. It is thought that it may have come from Greek Hyeres Islands into France and later to Spain, Italy and England. Around 50 - 70 AD, Greek military physician Pedanius Dioscorides penned what appears to be the first written record of the medicinal uses of lavender. He collected medicinal plants from around the Mediterranean and described them and their medicinal uses in a 5-volume work entitled ‘De Materia Medica’. Lavender, he noted, when taken internally relieved indigestion, headaches and sore throats and externally, could be used to clean wounds and burns or treat skin ailments. Pliny the Elder (23 – 79AD), a Greek writer and encyclopaedist, noted the benefits of herbal preparations with lavender including helping those with menstrual problems, upset stomachs, kidney disorders, jaundice and treating insect bites.
