I use Lavender so often, in so many ways. It is a
"convincer" oil for those who are skeptical about
the power of essential oils. It is the all-use oil for
children

For burns, hurts, scratches, all sorts of irritations or
skin care. All-purpose, all uses. The results of using a good
quality Lavender oil will be a positive outcome.

it for sore muscles, scalp treatment, thinning hair remedy for

thicker and more abundant. Hair breaks off less at the scalp
and is much shinier.

Spikenard
from the root

This cooling refreshing, earthy scent has an association of
peat moss or rich loamy soil. New green life from Spikenard.
Its spiritual associations are very strong.

Add to the Lavender ointment and works well with Tea Tree
for all children use. The combination of this oil with
Galbanum and Lavender really nixed the psoriasis on my elbows.
My father is using it with excellent results on an
unidentified "scaly patch."

Tea Tree from the leaf
|
What did you do before Tea Tree? The scent grows on you and
has a "good-for-what-ails-you" quality.
|
Use it on everything, bug bites, scratches, scrapes,
animals, zits, black and blue marks, to forestall a toothache.
Instantly ends itching of bug bites, takes the pain off
scrapes, sooths doggy eczema, speeds up the dissolving of
bruises, heals zits with Lavender. Good for removal of
splinters too, as it is analgesic and antiseptic.
