La-la-la-la Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil is the Swiss Army Knife of the EOs. If you’re going to be marooned on a deserted island, spend vacation without your luggage, or get Shanghai’ed to, well…Shanghai, this is the stuff to have on you!

My kids know: If they get a minor cut, bee sting, burn, or–heaven help us in Florida–a mosquito bite, I hear a high-pitched holler from across the house, “Mom! Where’s the Lavender?!”

And boys–it’s not just for girls. Sure if you want to be all macho with the guys while you’re out hunting, or camping, or playing paintball, that’s fine. But let the other turkeys get a limb amputated because they didn’t want to dab a little lavender on the gouge they got from the rusted barbed-wire. Let them enjoy the rapturous kiss of poison ivy because they weren’t man enough to apply to La-la-la-la Lavender at the first sign of trouble.

You think I’m just having fun? Heck, no. (Well, yeah, I am, but it’s still true!)
