The Origin and Historical Use of Lavender

The name “lavender” originates from the Latin verb lavare, meaning “to wash,” as the Romans used lavender flowers for embalming, scenting bathwater, and refreshing their living spaces. Roman soldiers carried lavender on campaigns to treat wounds and spread it in sick rooms to “purify” the air—a practice they reportedly adopted from the ancient Greeks.

The ancient Greeks were avid users of lavender, referring to it as “nard” after the city of Narda in Syria. They used it to perfume their baths and beautify the skin. Early on, the Greeks discovered that crushing and burning lavender flowers released smoke with deeply relaxing properties. It is believed that lavender spread throughout Europe via Greece around 600 BCE. By the 16th and 17th centuries, it had reached England and the United States.

Historical accounts also mention that courtesans used lavender essential oil to perfume their breath, while young virgins adorned with lavender flowers were sacrificed to the gods in ancient rituals.
