Tagline was a spur of the moment one, the spell checker always wants capitals.

It was going to be, Peroxide poured on a shallow wound will stop bleeding, buy an extra bottle and one of Virgin Olive Oil.

Olive oil alone, works in the bath, on skin and hair and if all else fails you can cook with it.

The most valuable thing in your survival kit, is a bottle of Lavender Essential Oil from the Health Food Store. You must be sure that it is Essential Oil and not a Fragrance oil.

Used in many ways, for breathing when it is stuffy, you have a cold or high blood pressure and a fast heartbeat. All you have to do is smell it.

A drop on an insect bite is good, stops the itching.

A drop rubbed on Mom's shoulder, under the blouse and then a cranky baby's head placed against the shoulder will relax a croupy baby, so it can sleep.

I have used it on my hands for calming cats after a fight and have to put NO-NO out the door or she won't stop licking.

I gave it to my daughter in law, carry in her purse and help the nerves and upset stomach, she has (for now) finished the radiation treatments and is in the middle of the chemo treatments. Scott tells me she uses it and that it helps.

Theresa has both brain and lung cancer and can use all prayers. She is a wonderful person.

Must be my bedtime.

Granny - reading your posts is better than owning a whole set of Foxfire's! And, I entirely agree with your modified punctuation as noted!

Hi Mama Ruth: Your posts just get better and better, more information and insight every day!! Please don't ever leave us, ok?

Hugs and prayers coming to you and your daughter in law. My friends husband has the very same thing, it's a big challenge to say the least. It takes all the hope, faith and courage one can muster to make it through. One must never give up though as almost anything is possible with enough prayers and love.

I've always heard lavender was great for relaxing. I've never tried it yet!

Regarding lavendar oil (pure essential oil) it CURES BAD BURNS like nothing else. I have done lots of cooking - worked as a cook, and I know about burns. Applying lavendar oil after soaking in ice or cold water takes the pain away and cures them like nothing I have ever tried.
