Mediterranean Origins

Native to the Mediterranean region, lavender has been cultivated for over 2,500 years. Ancient Romans used it in their baths (the name comes from the Latin "lavare," meaning "to wash"), while medieval monasteries grew it for medicinal purposes.

The highest quality lavender essential oil comes from plants grown at high altitudes in regions like Provence, France, where the intense sun and rocky soil concentrate the plant's therapeutic compounds.
