Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) oil is useful and important. It’s a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, antidepressant, sedative, and detoxifier. It promotes healing and prevents scarring; very effective in the treatment of burns and scalds. It also stimulates the immune system and contributes to the healing process by stimulating the cells of a wound to regenerate more quickly.
