Burns
Apply ice-cold water for 10 minutes or more. Then immediately put 2 drops of Lavender directly onto the burn. Put 5 drops of Lavender on a dry, cold compress and cover the area. Repeat as needed.
These recipes are taken from "The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy" by Valerie Ann Worwood.
Cuts and Wounds
Bathe the area with warm water to which you have added the following:
Lavender 5 drops
Tea Tree 2 drops
Use this mixture for every 2 cups of water
Put 3 drops of lavender on a piece of gauze and place it over the cut. Renew it twice a day and expose the cut or wound to air on the third day if possible.
Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill,
Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass.

Perfume contains ethyl alcohol and 25% fragrant oils. Cologne is cheaper to produce and to purchase because the oil content in cologne is only 3%. Cologne was named for the German city in which it was first produced. The original formula combined alcohol, lemon spirits, orange bitters and mint oil.
