Lavender<\/strong> It is a shrub with woody stems, branches with elongated spikes and purple flowers that give off an intense and fresh aroma.<\/p>\n

My daughters' favorite oil? Definitely lavender!<\/p>\n

Why? Besides the scent, it's the one I've used most since they were little. For bumps on the head or other parts of the body, applying it directly to the skin to relieve pain and prevent bruising. For wounds, to stop the bleeding, and scratches, I've applied 2-3 drops to reduce pain and help the skin heal. Applying frequently.<\/p>\n

I burst out laughing!! They've got it made perfectly clear!!<\/p>\n
