Lavender is another one of those essential oils that are great to always have on hand. A little bit of the oil placed on a minor skin burn does wonders towards healing. The oil is very nice when used in a diffuser, alone or with a companion oil such as rose or patchouli. It is mild enough to use in powders or carrier oil on babies and pregnant women, and I find it works well for helping to alleviate stress headaches. I used to keep a stash of this oil in my drawer when I worked in a large, stressful company. If you're not certain where to begin with essential oils, this is the perfect place. 100% pure undiluted essential oil. 0.5 fl oz
