I'm looking forward to using Young Living's oils when I return home to a static address.<BR/><BR/>I do have a question: what to do when someone you live/travel with is allergic to lavender?<BR/><BR/>I've been traveling long term the last year, and somewhere along the line must have taken something toxic into my body, because I've developed a weird rash sort of thing that looks like insect bites, extremely itchy -- hot baths with oils and Dead Sea Salts and hot compresses with oils help bring up pus and other such pleasant things. The "bites" open up, then heal, leaving a brown scar (I scar very easily).<BR/><BR/>As usual, one of the ways I treat skin problems is with lavender oils, but since I've started traveling with a friend who is allergic, this has been quite problematic. We've operated on the compromise solutions for right now (I use the lavender when he's elsewhere whenever possible, and air room where I do so very thoroughly).<BR/><BR/>Are there ways for me to use lavender that won't set off his allergies? Any help would be much appreciated, I can't imagine not using lavender, especially since the lavender is the only thing that relieves the itching of this condition!K.B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08453685534547547051noreply@blogger.com
