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.
