Lavender oil isn't just a fragrant addition to your skincare routine; it's also a popular remedy for soothing and healing burns. Lavender oil can help speed healing while relieving minor scalded or burned skin. Due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, Lavender oil can remedy minor burns and scalds. It can soothe pain, reduce inflammation, and potentially speed healing by promoting collagen synthesis. However, it's crucial to remember that use lavender oil  only for superficial epidermal burns,  not for more serious burns. 

Ensure it's a minor burn:

Use Lavender oil for red, slightly swollen, painful burns, without blisters. 

Apply diluted or undiluted:

Put a few drops of pure lavender oil to the affected area for minor burns. For more sensitive skin, consider diluting it with olive, jojoba, coconut, or almond oil.

Apply up to 3 times per day:

You can apply lavender oil to the burn area up to 3 times daily. 

Seek medical attention for more serious burns: If the burn is a superficial dermal burn, a deep dermal or partial thickness burn, or a third-degree burn, do not use lavender oil and seek immediate medical attention. 

Be aware of signs of infection: If you notice increased redness, pain, swelling, pus, or fever, consult a doctor before using lavender oil, as these may be signs of infection. 

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Do not apply lavender oil to open wounds. Use Lavender oil for first-degree burns or minor second-degree burns. For severe burns, seek medical attention immediately.

Don't use on severe burns: Lavender oil is not a substitute for medical treatment of severe burns. 

Be mindful of skin sensitivity: Some individuals may experience skin irritation with lavender oil. Please test a small skin area before applying it to a larger burn area. 

Avoid oral ingestion: Do not ingest Lavender oil, as it can be toxic. 

Consider seeking medical advice: If you have concerns about using lavender oil for a burn, consult a healthcare professional or certified aromatherapist.
