The word "lavender" comes from the Latin lavare, which means "to wash, to wash". The Romans loved the smell of lavender and used lavender water in their baths every day. The Greeks and Romans burned lavender twigs in their rooms as a remedy for contagious diseases. The Romans brought lavender to Europe. Currently, it is specially grown on the mountain slopes of the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Lavender oil is obtained by water-steam distillation from lavender inflorescences cut together with part of the stem. It is one of the first essential oils used in aromatherapy.
