Lavender

As I mentioned in my previous post I use Lavender a lot.  Here are some of the ways I have used it over the last month:

      * While camping my 21 month old developed a very bad diaper rash/burn.  It was so bad he was bleeding and crying because of pain.  I rubbed Lavender on it twice and it was all cleared up.  Two hours later he was back to normal and you would never have known he had been miserable.

     * My 3 week old nephew was visiting.  Most of the time you don't want to use medicine on babies, but with these oils I know they are safe.  I had mixed Lavender with a carrier oil and then we rubbed it on his diaper rash.  Poor little guy was really sore.  Within a couple minutes he was calmer, and you could see the redness disappearing.

     * Little Levi was having trouble sleeping so I rubbed him with Lavender and he slept through the night.

     * Derek had and earache that was bothering him so I mixed Lavender and Melaleuca with a carrier oil and then rubbed it on around his ear and on the reflex points of his feet.  Two ours later I asked if his ear was still hurting to which he replied, "nope."

     * Burns!  I am always getting burned in the kitchen.  I have used Lavender twice now and I can tell you it works great.  My burns stop hurting and heal way faster then without the Lavender.  I also got sunburned really bad, about a week ago, and I used Lavender and Melaleuca oil on the burns.  They were so soothing, and the burns were healed in two days.
