I use a lot of Aromotherapy Oils, to make my face creams but here are some uses for these oil , for other problems. You can buy the less expensive brands and larger bottles at the supermarket. But for making face creams use good ones.
Use less expensive brands for:-
1) Lavendar oil, in a few drops of water for wiping kitchen and bathroom tops benches, and in water for mopping floors.
2)Lavendar Oil on rolled up piece of cotton (soak them with the oil), for cupboards, drawers, and anywhere for fish moths, moths etc.
3)Lavendar Oil, a few drops added to your Fabric Softner in your washing machine. A disinfectant.
4)Good quality Lavendar Oil applied directly to burns, and sunburn. Keep in the kitchen.
5)Tea Tree oil for fungal infections, minor bits and scratches and wounds. A few drops on tissues for blocked sinuses. Also good in a bowl of steam and inhale.
Will drop in with some more tips if you like.

Justme, thank you so much for those handy tips. I'm going to order some lavender oil to keep around the house. With the grandkids around, I try to use natural products in the open. One thing that I have on hand is natural eucalyptus oil that a friend of mine introduced me to. I'll mix it with warm water to make a gargle to soothe a sore throat.

I love lavender! I like your tips, and please add more. I have noticed a big difference between the cheap oil and the quality oils... beside the price. I have a wood burning stove in my basement and in the winter I will put a pan of water on top of the stove to add moisture to the dry air. I put several stems of dried lavender in the water and it makes the house smell and feel good.

I've heard there were a lot of uses for lavender oil. I have a lot of fragrance sensitivities so I have to be careful what I use. I have some books of 'natural' remedies and one containing common household products that have many uses. I use vinegar for many things, like in the wash instead of bleach, also to get rid of odors, and I put it on bug bites and minor burns too. I'm always looking for tips like these, they're great alternatives to harsh chemical products. Thanks for sharing.

I knew that Lavender is my favorite of all the herbs and scents. I knew that I couldn't go to sleep at night without spraying my neck and bed with lavender linen water.
But I didn't know about the cleaning/pesticides side of Lavender. Do drop in from time to time with more great tips on how to be "green" and smell great too!

Good information. And do we need it. In Melbourne there are a lot of colds and and flu going round. We have been crook for a whole week and the grand-kids, and kids. we have been going to and fro to help with the grandchildren, and with summer on the way, hopefully, the spiders come out too.

You can not get "rid" of anger. you need to learn to let it out in a healthy yet useful way. Find something that can relief you, like sports or music or reading. you need to work hard and it doesn't come easily. The first step for you is to learn how to MANAGE this anger ( ex: anger management classes...) then you need to start thinking about ways to help you avoid this anger.

I knew it did a lot of things, but I did not know about the insects. Thanks so much.
I love lavender. Someone killed my lavender plant outside. It had flourished through the winter last year and bloomed and bloomed. Somebody purposefully killed it. I wonder why people do things like that.
BTW, I am glad you did not go away.

Thank you for the "green" tips. Very educational! I love lavendar (my Grandma would never leave the house without wearing her Lavendar Water cologne) - please come back again and give us some more green tips. Thank you!

Sounds great, thanks. Now, do you know of something that will help the very slow healing process of a surgical incision, and also help cut down the hyper-sensitivity in that area?? If you can help, Annelle, I'll come all the way there and give you a giant ((hug))!!!

Boric acid works better. Since all insects have their skeletons on the outside of the body, the boric acid dries them out. It also dries out their eggs, thus interrupting the reproductive cycle.
