Lavender Oil could be considered as Natures First Aid kit. The oil
is calmative and restorative, it also has excellent antiseptic and antibacterial
properties.
It can be used in a oil burner to lightly scent the
air in a room with its vapour thus providing a relaxing yet invigorating
atmosphere - great for those with bronchial and sinus problems, or sleeping
difficulties.
The oil is an ideal treatment for cuts and grazes with
its antiseptic, antibacterial properties - children love using it because
"it doesn't sting"*.
Used with a carrier oil, it is
relaxing and soothing when massaged onto tired and aching muscles.
Lavender oil is probably the best treatment you could
ever use on burns - you'll be amazed at how well it works, it seems
to draw the Heat right out of the burn, thus promoting faster healing,
reducing pain, scar tissue and the risk of infection. It is most beneficial
when applied directly after the burn occurs.
