I am learning a lot about essential oils since before I signed on as a Young Living distributor. And I learn more every day. Take this morning for example.
It’s really cold here and one suggestion to help keep the house warm (our house is so drafty and our furnace is barely keeping up) is to run the oven – either the self-cleaning feature (which I don’t have) or baking. I decided to bake cookies, something I haven’t done in close to a year I bet (except for with a friend at her house).
Everything is going really smoothly. The kids are cooperating, not fighting. The dough is mixing well. And I’ve got the timing so the cookies are coming out almost perfect. Then, I pull out a batch, transfer the cookies to the cooling rack, and grabbed the hot sheet to move it where I was about to put more cookies on it to bake. Well, I grabbed it without an oven mitt or towel, just my bare hand. All 5 fingers burnt. I dropped the pan and ran to my oil box.
On the way up the stairs, I’m thinking, “what’s the oil for burns??? I think it’s …. lavender… I bet it’s lavender.” I drop lavender on all the fingers and gently massage it in. Then I go find my reference book to see I grabbed the correct oil. Sure enough, I turn to BURNS and the first oil listed is lavender!
They (other oilers) say that very often we are just drawn to the correct oil or oils. I think it sounds kinda hokey to say your body just knows which oil or you get a sense of what oil to use. I know I’d read in the past about oils for burns, but I didn’t know for sure which oil to use, because I have been filling my head with oil testimonies and best oils for type information for about 3 weeks now.
The pan was very hot. I am sure I would have some very red welts at the very least without the lavender, but I don’t. My thumb is a little tender when I brush it against my clothes or something but I can use my hand no problem, just like before I picked up the pan.
I am impressed! I love my essential oils!
