Folklore and Herbal Heritage Ancient Greeks and Romans prized lavender for its perfume and for its cleansing properties. They lavished it upon their bodies in scented soaps and baths. Ancient Romans added lavender to their bath to relieve fatigue and stiff joints. The Romans are credited with naming it, although there are two different theories of the name's derivation. One theory holds that lavender comes from the Latin word lavare, meaning“ to wash,” while according to the other, it derives from the Latin word lividula, which means "bluish in color.” Medieval Europeans considered lavender an herb of love Many claimed that it had aphrodisiac properties England's Queen Elizabeth supposedly ate lavender conserves most mornings.
