Lavender Essential Oil: Managing Pain Naturally
October 29, 2007 | 4 Comments
It comes as no surprise to those that know me that my natural healing cabinent aka medicine cabinent contains essential oils, herbal remedies, etc. In many cases there is a natural way to soothe whatever ailment I might experience. Yesterday I was brewing a pot of ginger tea. Ginger is good for the digestive system, stomach upsets nausea, etc., Although I make ginger root tea often yesterday I made it because my daughter said she had a stomachache.
I burned the top of my hand yesterday. This happened several minutes after I had removed the pot off the stove. I wasn’t thinking and brushed the top of it with my hand. Ouch! That really hurt. Instantly I rushed upstairs and pulled out lavender essential oil and put it on my hand after a few moments the pain was gone. Guess what? It left no mark. Not only is lavender essential oil effective in burns it can also be used to reduce itching and swelling.

Why did I choose that title? This next series is completely unexpected you see it involves my four year old daughter getting sick with her first cold. I will start the series at my main website Vegan Momma I’ll move it on to The Raw & The Cooked it will come back to Healing Yourself Naturally.
If you’ve read Healing Yourself Naturally for any length of time you will know that I’m passionate about healing myself, and my family, through natural means. I don’t believe that all allopathic medicine is bad, but I do think many of us reach for it too quickly when we could be reaching Read more
