" The virtues of this essential oil are many: it is appreciated for afflictions of the brain, for hysterical vapours, and for epilepsy; (...) it rids the body of worms, and destroys vermin and insects. Four or five drops of essential oil of Lavender in spoonful of wine taken before eating dissipate migraine headache and fortify the stomach."

PONCELET. Chimie du goût et de l'odorat. 1755.

Popular medicine in Provence describes its soothing, antiseptic, healing and gastric properties. Lavender has also traditionally been used to kill worms in children, and to fight against lice and insect bites. Today, lavender's many constituent parts have been analysed and their wide therapeutic properties have been recognised. Essential oil of lavender enters into the composition of several pharmaceutical preparations including antiseptic, healing and anti-inflammatory products.
Lavender is indeed the basic component of any first aid kit or home pharmacy - the "Swiss army knife" of aromatherapy !
