All burns can be serious, therefore seek medical attention if necessary. If the burn is large or severe the victim may go into shock. Inhaling therapeutic essential oils may help reduce shock.?? Therapeutic essential oils can also help cleanse and help the to wound heal. Today, lavender is one of the few essential oils to still be listed in the British Pharmacopoeia.
René-Maurice Gattefossé, PhD, a French cosmetic chemist, is widely regarded as the father of aromatherapy. He and a group of scientists began studying essential oils in 1907.
In his 1937 book, Aromatherapy, Dr. Gattefossé told the real story of his now-famous use of lavender (Lavendula angustifolia) essential oil to heal a serious burn. The tale has assumed mythic proportions in essential oil literature. His own words about this accident are even more powerful than what has been told over the years.
Dr. Gattefossé was literally aflame — covered in burning substances — following a laboratory explosion in July, 1910. After he extinguished the flames by rolling on a grassy lawn, he wrote that…
“both my hands were covered with rapidly developing gas gangrene.”
He further reported… “just one rinse with lavender essence [oil] stopped the gasification of the tissue. This treatment was followed by profuse sweating and healing which began the next day.”
Lavender’s Medicinal Properties
Antiseptic, anti-fungal, analgesic, antitumoral, anticonvulsant, vasodilating, relaxant, anti-inflammatory, reduces blood fat/cholesterol, combats excess sebum on skin.

(Topical: neat or dilute 50/50 with V-6 Massage Oil). Spray with LavaDerm Cooling Mist immediately and as necessary to cool the area.? Use Lavender-Rosewood Soap only after the burn has started to heal 24-48 hours.
2. Second-Degree Burns (Blisters): ?Spray immediately with LavaDerm Cooling Mist* 4-5 times every hour and follow with 2-3 drops of Lavender* essential oil. On days 2-5, mist every hour and follow with 2-4 drops of Lavender essential oil. Continue using LavaDerm 3-6 times a day until healed. Apply Rose Ointment** to keep tissue soft.
3.Third-Degree Burns : Seek immediate medical attention. Spraying LavaDerm* on the burn every few minutes for the first 24 hours will help tissue rehydrate. Applying Lavender* essential oil after misting will help the healing process.

•Lavender-Rosewood bar Soap (#3673)
•Rose Ointment** (#3709)
Tip: ** Do not use ointments on burns until they are at least three days old, or if the burn is bad ask your doctor when it would be advisable to use ointments.
Special Note: * 98 percent of all essential oils in the world are not therapeutic; meaning that they can cause a burn or other injury to become worse. Additionally, cheaper Lavender oils often are derived from “Lavandin” which has a much higher camphor level which will make a burn many times worse! Therefore, we never recommend using any essential oil that does not come from a reputable distiller, such as Young Living. I know there are cheaper Lavender oils on the market but stories abound when those are used in First Aid situations and have actually made the wound much worse.

Eliminate Nummular Eczema Without the Need of Any Medication
Eliminate Nummular Eczema Without the Need of Any Medication
Eczema is a skin disease that often runs in families. It is generally caused by stress and contact with certain chemicals or allergens. The word nummula is taken from the Latin word nummus, which means a small coin. Numular eczema is in the form of coin shaped patches.
Men are the people who contract nummular eczema the most, with the first outbreak occurring when they are in their mid fifties to mid sixties in age. The second most active age period of people suffering with nummular eczema are fifteen to twenty five years of age.
In this category women are the ones suffering from this type of eczema the most. This form of eczema hardly bothers with children, and for every 1000 people in the United States, only two will be affected by this illness.
In cases where nummular eczema is not well treated, then one may risk developing secondary infections of the skin. The goal of treatment for eczema is to relieve and prevent itching, whichcan lead to infection.
The treatment of nummular eczema will target the need for immediate relief from the symptoms. Frequently your doctor will prescribe topical ointments or creams containing steroids, which are usually very effective.
Alternative Treatment
Nummular Eczema patients can be treated, but medical treatments often do not help a pain which is more than skin deep. Alternative medicines have done more for the numular eczema suffer then doctors and drug companies. It is widely agreed upon that the bodys immune system is not strong enough, or has been altered to combat allergens Incorporating fatty 3 acids, and herbal tonics has cleared up many forms of eczema.
You will also want to use a rich moisturizing lotion or cream to keep your skin hydrated, and make sure the soap you use is mild and fragrance free. The application of a wet dressing can sometimes give you some relief.
It is good to wear cotton clothing and avoid wool while you are sorting things out. Some people react to latex so be aware of your gloves. A mild soap like dove for sensitive skin works well as it contains no perfumes. For bathing use oatmeal baths rather than commercial bath soaks. Check your detergent to be sure it is dye free.
