My eyes would be okay, but nose my nose would rebel big time! Can't have anything that has lavender scent in it in the house, too bad because it is so popular.

It's hard to be sensitive, if not allergic, to some of the popular fragrances and ingredients. You really have to watch what you buy. I'm allergic to aloe - do you have any idea how many things that's in?

Yes, I do aknan, my oldest granddaughter is allergic to it too. She stayed w/us for a time & she had things she could use did not know that until then.

I'm sympathetic with allergies. I'm allergic to either newsprint or the ink. I open the newspaper in the morning and sneeze --- maybe six times. I've tried "mind over matter" --- doesn't work in this case!

Actually, JAMP, that's a common occurrence. It generally has to do with the microscopic paper dust clinging to the newsprint. Most of the inks now are soy- or plant-based. The old inks could really set your nose off!
Love lavender - went to a lavender farm in Tasmania and the smell was exquisite. I also keep lavender oil in my bedside table for when I am having difficulty going to sleep. I put some on my temples and there is a natural sleep inducer in it and I fall off to sleep very quickly.

I use lavender as a sleep aid, too, aussie. Mine has a drop of peppermint in it which makes breathing easier. Lavender is one of the few oils you can apply, uncut, directly to the skin. It's also good for those odd rashes that pop up from time to time.

Great stuff Aknan, because of the diabetes I am subject to very unwelcome rashes which are hard to heal, so will give it a go. Hugs a million.

Me, too - a hydrocortisone cream can also work wonders, especially if it's an itchy rash. I buy the house brands, which are considerably less expensive.
