FR Les Alpes de Haute Provence (particulièrement le plateau de Valensole et les bords du haut Verdon), était autrefois un lieu de culture de la lavande. Aujourd'hui la lavande a été modifiée et pousse bien plus bas en altitude.
Il reste pourtant, ici et là des anciennes distilleuses qui se déplaçaient pour aller de propriété en propriété transformer la lavande en extrait de lavande utilisé pour la cosmétique mais aussi pour traiter diverses affections :
* Brûlure
* Répulsif anti-poux
* Coup de soleil
* Dermatose
* Eczéma nerveux chez l'enfant
* Escarre, prurit
* Hypertension artérielle
* Palpitations
* Règles douloureuses
