English garden herb is highly regarded for its classic fragrance in soap, and potpourris, but lavender is also an important medicinal herb.

Originally, the oil from the flower was used to protect cloths and stored linens from moths. It was, and is, used as a scent in air fresheners. Oil distilled from the flower has applications as a stimulant, tonic, headache relief, and for relief of intestinal gas.
