Lavender is an all-purpose oil.
If you burn yourself - whether it be sunburn, hot oil, hot water, etc - liberally drop the essential oil neat onto the burnt area and it will take away the sting and there should not be any scarring where the Lavender was applied.
If you can't sleep put 1 drop of Lavender on your forehead or else 1 drop on either side of your pillow - it relaxes your mind and your body. It works wonders!
Lavender has many more properties and the above are only 2 reasons why you should keep Pure Lavender Essential Oil in your first aid box.

If you cut yourself, stop the bleeding by applying fine black pepper to the wound (no, it will not sting but if you apply salt it will sting) and once it has stopped bleeding apply 1 drop neat Teatree essential oil to the wound and it will help to close the wound as well as disinfect it. Apply daily until the wound has closed.
It is excellent for athlete's foot. Wash your feet with soap and water, dry properly especially in between the toes and then drop neat Teatree essential oil onto the affected area. Apply daily until the infection clears up.

WARNING : Very occassionally it may be a skin irritant to someone who has very sensitive skin or if used continuously for too long.

SINUS CONGESTION
Sinusitis is the infection or inflammation of the lining of the air-filled cavities in the skull.
These cavities are located above the eyebrows on the forehead, on the eyebrow line, behind the nose and cheek bones. They drain into the nose.
The most common cause of acute sinus pain is a viral infection of the respiratory tract which leads to obstruction of the drainage of these passages.
The difference between a cold and sinusitus : nasal congestion and other symptoms of a cold begin to improve within 5 - 7 days whereas the symptoms of sinusitus last longer and may even worsen with time.
Some of the symptoms are :
* Headaches
* Black rings under the eyes
* Blocked nose and/or runny nose and/or post nasal drip
* It can make you feel down
During the head massage the sinuses are manually drained and pure essential oils are used that have been especially mixed to help decongest them.
