" 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.
