Lavender - Lavendula angustifolia

Lavender (Lavandula) is a genus of dwarf shrubs belonging to the Lamiaceae family. These plants are often planted in gardens for their purple flowers and wonderful scent.

An important reason for growing lavender is the lavender oil extracted from the purple flowers. This oil is widely used as a fragrance in cosmetic products such as soap and perfume, and also in aromatherapy.

Lavender flowers are used in cooking, especially as part of Provencal herb mixtures. They can be used fresh or dried to flavor various dishes, such as French cheeses, carrots and tomatoes.

There are various products based on lavender herb, such as lavender tea and lavender syrup. This syrup is used, among other things, in pastries and pralines. Lavender honey is produced by bees that feed on lavender flowers.

Lavender can be used both internally and externally. As a tea it can have a calming effect, while aromatherapy with lavender has a soothing and soothing effect. Lavender essential oil also has antiseptic properties.

Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) praised lavender as a remedy for coughs in her work "Causae et Curae" from 1150: "If someone boils three spoons of Speik lavender in a liter of wine and drinks it often lukewarm, it soothes the liver-lung complaints, it reduces tightness in the chest and promotes sharpness of mind and clear thinking. If there is no wine, it can also be boiled in water with added honey." Furthermore, in her book "Physica" she claimed that lice would die if someone with a lot of lice smelled lavender.
