Lavender has been a part of everyday life since the ancient times
With its heady scent, lavender began its home invasion already in the ancient times. The Romans used it as a fragrance in their baths, believing that it had great skin repair properties. Its name is probably derived from the Latin verb "lavare", meaning "to wash." Through Roman baths, lavender soon made its way into all other home spaces. Later on, when its beneficial healing properties got discovered, lavender also found its place in the kitchen. For home use, in addition to pleasantly scenting the rooms, lavender is also popular because of one extremely useful characteristic - it is a natural repellent that helps get rid of annoying moths.
