Lavender has a light, sweet floral scent. Undeniably the most popular essential oil for all age groups, it is therapeutically superior for a wide variety of conditions and definitely the number one choice for first aid. Lavender can be used on minor wounds like cuts and scrapes, bug bites, sunburn and minor burns.  Lavender is great for skincare and helps soothe irritated and sensitive skin. Of course, it is widely known as the best essential oil for relaxation as it helps calm stress and anxiety, eases headaches, and promotes restful sleep.  Supportive of healthy reproductive, respiratory, lymphatic, circulatory, muscular, and immune systems.

Lavender essential oil is a must-have for every home first aid kit.  Soothe sunburn with a Lavender and Peppermint spray, and keep in a roll-on with coconut oil for minor cuts and scrapes.  Lavender is great for soothing insect bites and stings - you can make your own poultice with bentonite clay, or keep it simple with a roll-on.
