Lavender is the panacea of French Medical Aromatherapy. Use a few drops of Lavender on burns, cuts, scrapes, bites, itching, nail fungus, scars etc. Lavender is also widely used for calming the nervous system and aids with relaxation for stress and anxiety, and deep sleep.
Lavender is a “driver” , which means it helps to “drive” other essential oils deeper into the skin. Known as a “dilution solution”, lavender essential oil protects skin cells so the stronger essential oils (the phenols) can attack and kill unwanted microbes and promote healthy bacterial growth.
Rare, True Lavendula angustifolia from France is hard to find. Experience the incredible healing powers of Melissa’s Botanicals True French Lavender. Melissa’s Botanicals French Lavender Essential Oil is extremely safe and can be used directly (undiluted) on the skin for children and adults.
When in doubt, use Lavender!
