Prevailing medical theory of the Middle Ages was that disease was spread by bad air, which they called miasma. The lavender was supposed to provide a scent that would correct bad air. I know this all sounds silly, but remember that this was an important theory of medicine until the time of Louis Pasteur, in the late 19th century.
