As an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, I fell in love with the history of the modern English language. The migration of tribes and conquering of peoples led to the borrowing and changing of words. The English language is filled with borrowed words from other languages.
I am still fascinated by our ever evolving language and the origin of words. For example, did you know that lavender comes from the Latin word "lavare", meaning "to wash"? This is because lavender was used as a ritual bathing herb in ancient Rome. Lavender was recognized for its healing qualities and for washing. It was added to baths to scent the water and was thought to restore the skin. Baths were very important for the Romans--they stayed at the bath houses for several hours and went there daily.
A bottle of Young Living's therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil.In our super-stressed "jump-in and out-of-the-shower society", a warm soak in the bath tub with the added benefits of lavender essential oil (both relaxing and conditioning to the skin) is the perfect way to unwind and renew! Lavender's rich fragrance is soothing and balancing to the mind. So go ahead and take a few minutes to unwind and restore your body and mind with a warm lavender bath tonight!

Lavender is one of my favorite oils. I use it every night.
We use Lavender with various blends, rather than "V-6".
Also, it is wonderful to mix with water and spray the bed and room where children are going to sleep to ensure a good night's rest -- for everyone.
Ya just gotta "Love that Lavender"!
