Lavender Essential Oil for Quick Burn Remedy

Be careful of those sparklers and fireworks, and the hot summer sun.

If you get burned from sun or fun, lavender oil is a great “have-on-hand” home remedy (until you get medical attention, should you need it).

In the 18th century, chemist Gattefosse, discovered the healing properties of lavender when he inadvertently put his burned hand in a basin. He thought the basin was water but it was lavender oil. The burn healed quickly without scarring. Thus entered the dawn of present day French aromatherapy.

Today, use several drops of lavender on and around the affected area immediately after a burn. It can greatly reduce symptoms, pain and scarring. It is imperative to use a therapeutic, not perfume-grade oil. Young Living has two wonderful lavender oils. I prefer the St. Maries lavender. It is believed to have a higher level of healing properties than even the lavender from France. It is grown in pristine mountains of St. Maries, Idaho.

Lava Derm Cooling Mist is a must have at the beach. It helps combat that hot and burned feeling from the sun. It contains lavender and aloe vera.

Honey Heals Wounds

Honey has healing properties. Winnie the Pooh’s been on the right track all along!

Honey has been used for its healing properties for more than four thousand years. In ancient Egypt, more than 500 healing formulas included honey. Greeks used honey to cure skin conditions.

In a recent issue of SAGE Publications’ International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, a review article reports that honey is effective as a wound dressing and is beneficial in the following ways:

–Honey’s antibacterial quality rapidly clears existing infection and protects wounds from additional infection

–Honey debrides wounds and removes malodor

–Honey’s anti-inflammatory activity reduces edema and minimizes scarring

–Honey stimulates growth of granulation and epithelial tissues to speed healing
