OilTalk Tip of the Week: Healing Burns

"My daughter was using a gas grill and when she discovered it had gone out, she bent down to re-light it. A huge fire ball shot out right in her face. Her entire face was burned and she was in a lot of pain. We spritzed Young Living Essential Oils Lavaderm (a aloe/lavender spray) every few minutes for the first few hours--then hourly during the night and the next few days. When the Lavaderm was gone, we continued with Lavender oil because now we were able to touch her face without much pain. She never got a single blister and has healed wonderfully."

Aroma Help Quick Tip: Soothing Burns

For fast relief of first degree burns, spray burn immediately with Young Living's Lavaderm Cooling Mist (lavender and aloe). Continue misting as necessary to cool the area. Spray as often as 4-5 times an hour for the first two hours and follow with 2-3 drops of lavender diluted 50:50 with jojoba or grapeseed oil.

Please note that it is very important to be using pure lavendula angustifolia species of lavender. Other species can be higher in camphor which will irritate and inflame burns rather than heal them.
