Lavender is known for its unmistakable aroma and its ability to create a calm and soothing environment. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for mummification, bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume. Inhaling Lavender promotes relaxation, making it an ideal oil to diffuse at bedtime.
