Lavendar Oil (Lavandula Angustafolia) For restless leg syndrome, put 4 or 5 drops on your hands and rub the bottom of your feet. Then cup my hands over my nose and deeply inhale to help get back to sleep. For insomnia, rub some lavender on your chest and put a couple drops on your tongue. Lavender is very calming and relaxing. It helps deal with the stress of travel, especially on planes, Lavender is wonderful for burns and sunburn. Burns and Sunburn - Apply 1-3 drops on burn location to cool tissue and reduce inflammation. Apply 3-6 times daily or as needed. After-Sun Healing Spray
Blend together and pour into a 12-16 ounce fine mist spray bottle. Spray skin if you have been over exposed to the sun. This is very healing and soothing to sunburned skin. Do not get any in eyes. Personal Experiences with Lavendar Oil Sun damage to my skin through the years has caused some pre-cancerous spots of red, scaly skin to appear on my face. When my dermatologist burns them off, he gives me instructions to use ointment to keep them from blistering and scabbing over. The last time I went in, I took my bottle of Lavendar oil and when his nurse handed me the sample of ointment, I said "no thanks. I have my Lavendar oil." I put a drop of oil on each burned spot and within a minute, all the pain and redness was gone. She was astounded to see the redness disappear so quickly. I gladly shared with her about Lavendar oil and left her a sample! In the days following I applied Lavendar to the spots twice a day and they healed without blistering or scabbing.. and they healed days faster than with the ointment. Kathy Wilson My favorite way to enjoy Lavender is in the evening in a cup of hot water with some agave stirred in!! It's a wonderful prelude to a good nights sleep! Kathie I often have trouble sleeping in hotel beds. It really helps to make up a chamomile tea with 2 or 3 drops of lavender oil in it. Most hotels offer chamomile tea with the coffee in your room. Drink it before going to bed and you should have a nice peaceful sleep. Julie I have used Lavender for many different challenges (good night's sleep, drippy nose and especially burns). While making myself a Hot Fudge Sundae one day, I accidentally tipped the jar slightly and hot, bubbly fudge sauce coated all four fingers of my left hand. The pain was unbelievable. I immediately rinsed off the fudge with cold water. Then grabbed my bottle of Lavender and put a couple drops on each finger and massaged it in. Almost, immediate relief. Two hours later I repeated the Lavender and went to bed. In the morning, all four fingers showed no signs of a burn. The skin was not pink or tight with movement. I will always keep a bottle of Lavender in the kitchen for burns and cuts and, of course, one bottle in the bedroom for a peaceful sleep. Thank you for letting me share! Christine I use Lavender on my kids burns and hurts all the time. Just a few days ago, my two year old fell down and scraped his elbow. It was skinned up and bleeding. I took him inside and put a drop or two on the scrape and covered it with a bandaid. That night we removed the bandaid and it looked like it was almost healed. There was a scrape lower down his arm that was a comparable "hurt" a few days older that never had the lavender applied to it. The older scrape had a big ugly scab and looked like it had a few days still before it would heal. What a difference! The new scrape with the lavender was already almost gone. There is no scab on it, just darkened skin. Jessi |
