It was shown to have some antibacterial activity against e coli. When tubercolosis plagued France, those who worked in lavender fields, who inhaled the scent of lavender, were less likely to succumb to tubercolosis. Lavender fragrance, (the real thing) is a healthy scent that protects one, to some extent from disease-causing bacteria.
Lavender is antiviral too. It contains Beta-Caryophyllene which displays antiviral properties.
One way to make use of this is to enjoy the scent of lavender in your home through lavender room sprays. You can enjoy the clean, sweet scent of lavender in bath and body products perfumed with lavender to improve your over wellbeing. A bonus is lavender's well known effect on helping one relax and to drain the stress away.
