Lavender is probably considered the most versatile of all Essential Oils. It is very useful for burns and scalds, abrasions, is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, and detoxifier. It promotes healing, prevents scarring and stimulates the immune system to heal. When using Lavender for burns, the most important thing to do first is assess the damage. For serious burns, second degree or third degree burns, go to your nearest hospital for treatment. For minor burns, Lavender can speed the healing process and reduce scarring which will reduce the pain and damage to the skin. Apply ice-cold water to the infected area for about 10 minutes. Apply 2 drops of Lavender Essential Oil directly on the burn. Place 5 drops of Lavender Essential Oil to a dry cold compress and cover the infected area. Repeat as needed.
Chamomile Essential Oil is a disinfectant, an antiseptic, and an antibacterial. It's greatest value comes from its anti-inflammatory properties. Use Chamomile Essential Oil to treat rheumatism and other external inflammations. Chamomile is also useful for diarrhea, sprains and strains, burns, sunburn, psoriasis, eczema, asthma, hay fever, nausea and fever. In skin care, a facial with Chamomile is soothing.

With a towel over your head, place your face over the steaming bowl for about 5 minutes. For dry and/or sensitive skin, add 6 drops of Chamomile Essential Oil to 2 tablespoons of your favorite base oil. Massage into your face for a soothing and soft skin conditioning. For a relaxing and soothing warm bath, add 5 drops of Chamomile Essential Oil to 1 tablespoon of Sweet Almond Oil right after you have filled the tub.
