Trusty Lavender strikes again!
Ever get a steam burn? Oh boy, do those HURT!
I passed the top of my hand over the steam vent of a pot cooking potatoes on the stove top a few days ago—for literally only a millisecond—and the intense pain was surprising, to say the least!
Thank goodness I keep a stash of some of my favourite essential oils right there in the kitchen, and was able to drip on some Lavender neat out of the bottle right away. Practically INSTANT relief... and the next day even though I still had a crusty red mark where the steam came in contact with my skin, I didn't have a stitch of pain. Simply amazing!!!
And burns aren't the only thing... there is SO much that Lavender is good for. I always say "when in doubt about what oil to use, reach for Lavender!" There are plenty of reasons they call it the "Swiss Army Knife" of oils :-)
