"Lavender is capable of many important jobs and is a delight to use. Every home should have a bottle of lavender, if no other oil, because it is so very effective in the treatment of burns and scalds. Lavender oil is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, antidepressant, sedative, and detoxifier which promotes healing and prevents scarring, and also stimulates the immune system and contributes to the healing process by stimulating the cells of a wound to regenerate more quickly."
According to Deni Bown, author of "Encyclopedia of Herbs & Their Uses" (available from Richters), lavender is also useful externally for such ailments as rheumatism, muscular pain, and neuralgia.
