As recently as World War I, some governments asked their citizens to gather lavender from their gardens so that the extracted oil could be used to dress soldiers ’ wounds.
Vēl Pirmā pasaules kara laikā dažu valstu valdības lūdza saviem pilsoņiem savākt un nodot lavandu, lai no tās iegūto eļļu varētu izmantot kareivju brūču apstrādei.
