I and II degree burns – including sunburns

Apply – 3 to 6 undiluted drops on the skin, 3 or 4 times a day, directly on the affected area. (If the burn, bite or sting has just occurred, repeat the application every 15 seconds for 2 minutes, then every 15 minutes for 2 hours, but in case of a snake bite this will not be enough so contact your doctor immediately).

If the burn surface is large (for example sunburn on the back), dilute great lavender with a large amount of St. John’s wort vegetable oil: 5 drops of the former, 5 drops of the latter.

Acne : Apply - 2 undiluted drops on each spot on each blackhead 2 to 4 times a day.
Herpes : Apply - 2 undiluted drops on each pustule at least 8 times a day.
Herpes zoster : Apply - 2 drops of great lavender and 2 drops of calendula vegetable oil for as long as the nervous state lasts 6 times a day until healing (10 to 15 days).

Great lavender soothes toothaches very efficiently. Mix 2 drops of essential oil with 2 drops of St. John’s wort vegetable oil and massage with the tips of the fingers directly on the affected area and the gums. Repeat as much as necessary.

As with all essential oils, great lavender oil is prohibited during the first 3 months of pregnancy. It should not be used during breastfeeding.
