This oil is incredible for so many things, but as a first aid tool, you can't beat it. <br /><br />Burns, Burns, Burns<br /><br />We all have experienced the pain of burns in the kitchen, or the dozens of other ways we manage to burn ourselves. If you dab a little tiny bit of Lavender on the burn, the pain will diminish after abour 4 minutes, and likely you will not even have a blister, and thus no scar.<br /><br />It is incredible to me how often I turn to this oil for burns and it has saved me many times over.<br /><br />The Lavender you need is not a fragrance oil. You need Steam Distilled Lavender Vera or Lavender Angustafolia. DO NOT TRY USING A FRAGRANCE OIL on an injury.<br /><br />Also, when using the lavender, do not put your fingers in the bottle, drop it on the burn directly (one drop!!! not a lot!!!!) or put on a tissue or q-tip, then dab that on the burn. My most recent burn was really bad (picked up a steaming hot lid from a pan) and for some reason had a hard time finding a safe place to put it down), for that I put a couple drops of Lavender in an egg-cup and put my burnt thumb and forefinger in the lavender. It hurt for under 5 minutes... and later that night I was busy giving my boyfriend his weekly deep tissue massage. I had absolutely no pain and no scar. :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18056692-113763108577556339?l=lavenderessentialoil.blogspot.com'/></div>nunyanoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18056692.post-1129754758952221122005-10-19T13:45:00.000-07:002005-10-19T13:45:58.956-07:00more information and discussions on lavender to follow<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18056692-112975475895222112?l=lavenderessentialoil.blogspot.com'/></div>nunyanoreply@blogger.com0
