History: In the tomb of Tutankhamen, jars containing fragrances similar to Lavender were found. In ancient Greece, Lavender was called “nardus,” or “nard.” Lavender was one of the herbs used in purification of the First Temple of Jerusalem, and Nard is mentioned in the Song of Solomon. In the Roman Empire, too, Lavender was extremely valuable. It fell out of common use during the Middle Ages, and was used and grown only in monasteries and convents. Lavender experienced a revival in Tudor England, and Queen Elizabeth was very fond of it. King Charles VI, of France had the cushions of his seats stuffed with Lavender. Aromatherapy itself was born when, while working in the lab, French chemist René-Maurice Gattefossé burned his hand and then used Lavender oil to effectively treat the burn.
