They are a bit combursome to manage, but are most effective. During the day, you can apply lavender oil topically on exposed area if required. Be careful on your face. You better not apply it on the face.

He has bald spots from where he scratched and licked it. I know it\'s not fleas I check and use stuff for that.

Best Regards. Max. MAX PARSANLAL Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:20:13 +0100 http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/natural-essential-oils/health-benefits-of-lavender-essential-oil.html#josc331 I always use lavender oil when i get a break out of dermatitis,red,flaky,dry,itchey skin.I even use it pure at night and the next morning the results are spectacular.It may go red at first and seem a little shocking, but that goes away fairly quickly and I\'m pretty much healed the next morning. You could certainly add Lavender oil to your coconut oil in the amount you thought smelled good. you could start with 1ml. in 100 and increase from there by half of a ml.if you want more smell. I make a Lavender Oil face spray for cleaning and refreshing.I put 2ml.oil in 100 Pure water and shake.It actually smell better after a few days when it\'s aged. I like it strong but some may find this drying...You can put 1ml.if you have dry skin. I use it all over my face and love it. My closed eyes dont seem to be sensitive to it,but every one is different.

My cats love it. You can apply it topically to the skin but the best way is orally. My cats come running when I open the jar of coconut oil. You will want the virgin coconut oil. I have found it at walmart in the pharmacy dept with the supplements. My cats usually get about a tsp of it. They like it in liquid form. Just run it under hot water and it turns liquid very quickly. I work as a groomer and recommend it to my clients. They have also seen great improvements in their pets too.

Also flies and mosquitoes dislike the fragrance, use the oil in insect sprays, or add the cut flowers to flower vases. * Lemon ecualyptus oil --Oil of lemon eucalyptus Eucalyptus citriodoraprovides provides protection against mosquito bites, according to the CDC. * Lemongrass, citronella-- A good mosquito repellent, it is often added to candles and incense sticks. * Neem oil --Neem oil is a good mosquito repellent, but smells quite strong. * PennyRoyal Oil Pennyroyal has been used as a natural insect repellent for centuries. A little goes a long way * Red cedarwood oil Red cedarwood is very good insect repellent, effective against mosquitoes, moths, woodworms, leeches and rats. * Tea tree oil For quick relief from mosquito or chigger bites, rub tea tree oil on them. Tea tree is generally safe to apply directly to skin, but do an allergy test first.

He drinks about 3 to 4 glasses of red wine or beer everynight. Depending on his stress levels drinks more or less. He´s been trying to stop for a long time, and it´s affecting his life. He drinks in the evenings only and feels it´s like a relaxing thing to do, but then he looses his grip and drinks more than he should. How could he get help from essential oils or other herbs? I´ve heard that St. John´s Wort is a preventative since it´s a mood enhancer and antidepressant, but does it really work? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

I bought organic pure essential lavender oil and diluted it with organic extra virgin olive oil. About a 1/2 cup oil and 10-12 drops lavender oil. You can also dilute with witch hazel and some lemon juice for a nice skin toner.

Not huge ones but red, inflamed looking ones. So far nothing has helped. So I tried this: I drink lavender tea every night. Then I put the left over wet lavender, that I used for the tea, on my forehead in a paper towel. For about 20 minutes. (If I use it longer then that I get a headache. I assume everybody is different so you have to experience it yourself) I\'m amazed with the results!!! Calms my pimples down, even if they are up and armed. :) Liana Sat, 28 Feb 2009 20:59:52 +0100 http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/natural-essential-oils/health-benefits-of-lavender-essential-oil.html#josc2067 I am needing to find out the nutritional facts about lavender.

You can also place some cut lavender flowers in your pillow case, or try drinking a lavender tea (don\'t use the oil for tea. Buy real lavender tea from a health food store).

So are rosemary & peppermint. The latter 2 have to be diluted with a carrier oil such as almond, grapeseed, olive, jojoba or hazelnut. Migraines are caused from a lack of vitamin B2. A lady suffered from migrains at least twice a month until she started taking B2 supplements. Now she doesn\'t have them at all. I would take B-Complex if I were you and each more organic leafy green vegetables. Good luck!

The bottle comes with a strict warning not to use directly from the bottle. I have been researching and cannot find any article that explains what I can dilute it with and in what concentration. Anybody?

Some examples of carrier oils are coconut and olive oil however, lavender oil is one of the few essential oils that are supposed to be safe to use undiluted. The warning is probably there just in case but if you\'re worried you can just mix a few drops with a carrier oil and it should be fine. Also, if you\'re not using it on your skin then there shouldn\'t be any need to dilute it. sum1 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:45:03 +0100 http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/natural-essential-oils/health-benefits-of-lavender-essential-oil.html#josc4527 I\'m not sure if you\'ve investigated, but 80% of migraine headaches are bite related. Especially, if the headaches begin in the temples and/or back of the neck. There is a reason that only women get migraines. Have you ever known a man to complain of migraines? I haven\'t. So many pain management doctors don\'t realize this. \"When all you\'ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.\" Things to look for? In addition to the area of the head affected, other signs are gum pocketing, gum recession, wear on your teeth (espeically the front teeth). Look for a bite specialist (usually a dentist) and inlcude their opinion in your decision on how to treat. Good luck.

True migraines begin down the centerline of the scalp and, as I understand it, are caused by the swelling of the dura beneath the scalp which presses against the skull. If your headaches are in the temples or back of the neck, these are classic bite headache symptoms. The reason they\'re worse in the morning is that everyone clenches during REM sleep. I think if you can find a dentist to do a bite \"equilibration\", especially using a device called a Tekscan, I\'ll bet your headaches will finally be gone. Do your due diligence, the internet is great for that.

Most other essential oils are incredibly irritant and even toxic when used without a carrier! Please be careful and do your research first, essential oils and herbals have a lot of wisdom and healing to share but please use them responsibly and with respect. Many blessings, L.S.

I\'m a 52yo male who \"knows\" he suffers from migraines. 90% are in the AM but the others are mid-day. They start at the base of my skull then progress to the front. Imitrex is my current treatment but I am excited about trying essential oils. Jason,I\'m sure you have great things to add,just don\'t \"trip\" yourself before you get started.

You get them because the veins in your neck and head are swollen and they push upon your nerves. Lavender oil is helpful, as is peppermint oil. Migraines are usually hereditary. My brother has them and so does my mother. Currently my doctor has me on beta blockers which prevents the headaches. It is daily but it\'s the only thing that has worked, and I\'ve tried them all.

As it was the first time for my for my eight month old daughter, Scarlett, I worried about sand flys. My worry stems from the fact that I seem to attract them and react badly so am afraid she might be the same. When I visited the chemist to ask advise I was informed that there was nothing on the market that she could use but if I mixed a little lavender oil in with her moisturiser that would deter them. I used the advice successfully but now wish to confirm whether or not use of lavender oil is advised in children so young before I continue its use.

My son is 32 years old and has been dealing with migranes since he was about 10 years old. We have had cat scans ran and nothing shows up. I pray each night that we will find something to rid him of this excrutiating pain. You never know when he will get one. Sometimes he can go several weeks without having one. Other times, he may get one every week. They are so bad that he vomitts, his right arm and hand go numb and sometimes his speach is even messed up. I would appreciate any and all advice from anyone. Thank you. Debra Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:28:44 +0100
