Tip for You: Lavender

Lavender is amazing for burns. First time you've ever heard this information? Sad, but often, this is the case. We get to adulthood, survive countless burns without ever knowing how the essential oil Lavender is really wonderful for healing burns.

I heard about a story of a man who suffered third degree burns on his forearms. They were far from a medical facility. His massage therapist friend filled a utility sink with room temp. water and dumped a large bottle of essential oil of lavender in the water. The young man immersed his arms in the water for somewhere between 3/4 and 1 1/4 hours. He had only the most minimal scarring. His pain was diminished greatly. He suffered no infections. I personally use Lavender for burns whenever it is necessary and I'm always surprised at the discomfort relief that the lavender provides.

Take caution when using essential oils. They aren't meant to use undiluted directly on the skin, with a few exceptions. Consult your doctor, but remember on top of everything. Your health is your own responsibility. Read, learn, choose. Hold the blame. Nobody will ever care as much as you do. God bless. Heal well.
