Yup. Lavendar oil is such magic that after my last (very) bad burn, I was ready to write a booklet about it and self-publish it!

I spilled BOILING water all over the top of my left hand, I knew it was going to be the worst burn I've ever had. I soaked it in cold water while searching for the lavendar oil. After about a half hour or less in the cold water, I kept sprinkling it on the burn, every time the pain started sneaking in. After about two hours of that, I slapped some wet clay on it, and went to bed. When I woke up there was no sign of any burn except a few pinkish tender spots.

I have used aloe a lot before (used to have many plants when I lived in a warmer climate) and although aloe is indeed wonderful, if I could have only one I'd take lavendar oil.

(I know quite a bit about natural home remedies... essential oils, herbs, and so on.)
