she doesn't do patch tests, that's how she's in this predicament Vix, sorry hun OK picks up her Aromatherapist hat. NEVER use any oils neat on the body - the only exception I'd give is tea tree on a cotton bud, but even then it would be better in a bit of avocado or wheatgerm oil!
However, Lavender is indeed excellent for burns and so my recommendation would be a soothing siitz bath (water covering the burned areas) with a couple of drops of lavender and then a cold compress, a pad of cloth soaked in cool water with lavender dropped in and changed regularly.
Ouch Vix, I now remember why I prefer waxing and the razor. Hope you feel better soon hon.

As with any burn, soaking in tepid/cool water will bring down the temperature of the skin. Also Aloe Vera the purer the better is absolutely fantastic at cooling down, soothiing pain and preventing the skin from drying out. Ive learnt this from being sunburnt in Florida :shock:
Hope this helps. xx

Did no one ever tell you about not using unsiutable electrical items in the bathroom, well even if they did im sure they covered hair dryers, electric fires, TV's (thats televisions!) but i bet WELDERS were missed off their list so cant blame you really

Lavender oil is what you want. Most health shops sell it, and Boots probably does as well. Drip liberally over the affected area and the pain will go almost instantly. Lavender is excellent for any sort of burn and it soothes the skin very quickly as well.

NEVER put neat lavendar essential oil onto any part of your body!
Absolute rubbish. There is no reason at why you should not use neat lavendar oil on the skin. Most oils I would agree yes, it should be diluted in a carier oil, but lavendar is an exception to this.

For practitioners then I would agree with you - but to the untrained/uneducated I would disagree - there are many ways to sensitise the skins and adding any neat oil is the quickest. You have to take into account peoples skin types, sensitivities, illnesses, allergies, dosing etc.
Even lavender oil should be used in a carrier. Yes it has the reputation for being the safest oil but can still be dangerous.

You are of course quite right that anything can be dangerous if used incorrectly, and it is always worthwhile testing *anything* before you use it. However, I am again going to disagree with you regarding lavender oil - it IS safe to use it neat. Patricia Davis in her book 'Aromatherapy an a-z' says "Essential oil of lavender is one of the most effective treatments for burns, both major and minor. It can be applied neat to all minor burns... for larger burns lavender oil should be poured neat onto sterile gauze and applied to the skin." Valerie Ann Worwood in 'The Fragrant mind' states "There are a few medicinal circumstances when essential oils can be used neat - lavender on a burn for example" and Anne McIntyre in 'The complete woman's herbal' says "Lavender is a useful external disinfectant for cuts and wounds... and minimizes scar formation when the oil is applied neat to burns.' While I am less inclined to believe what I read from websites, just do a search for 'neat lavender oil' and you'll see that virtually every site you look at will tell you that it's safe to use neat in this way.
Using lavender in a carrier in this instance is not a good idea, since most carriers are thick and oily, which is not what you want to put onto a burn.

Just a note to the guys....DON'T DO THIS, no matter how few sensitive bits you think you have, trust me you have more! I tried it a year or two ago when it first came out, having some left over from my legs, and lets just say some of the skin is thinner than I thought, and it hurts like hell! didn't get burned though.
that's why I use tweezers now
glad it's all better vix
