Lavender, French
Lavender
was widely used in ancient Egypt for its fragrance, and it was also a
favorite in the homes of Greeks and Romans. Even its name is derived
from the Latin word, lavare, which means “to wash,”
because
it was used by the Romans in scented baths. When introduced to England
in the Middle Ages, Lavender became a popular "strewing herb" that was
spread on the floors of rooms, and when stepped upon, it not only
emitted a wonderful fragrance, but it was also an effective insect
repellent. In France, the town of Grasse used Lavender in their
glove-tanning process, and when the town remained remarkably free of
plague, it encouraged people elsewhere to carry the herb to ward off
disease.
