As with all concentrated essences, if you are pregnant, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, professional council is always recommended before use.
Possible uses for lavender essential oil include the treatment of anxiety, asthma, acne, earache, flatulence, headaches, labor pains, whooping cough, vertigo, stretch marks, insect bites, oily skin, cuts, colic, chicken pox, burns and bruises.
