Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Have to remember that everyone is different and reacts differently to things. My friend can't be around lavender at all. It makes her heart race and she becomes agitated. Weird huh. Has the opposite effect on her since it is said to help relax.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 In general it is, however sensitivity is a different thing. It's like an allergy. Your body can decide it's had enough and cant' take it anymore. You can have the toughest skin but still develope a sensitivity. Sensitive skin and sensitivity to an oil are two different things. hth -Ilene > > I was under the immpression that Lavender was OK to use neat, I have > put abit on my temples for headaches also, I have pretty sensative > skin- just a dab, I wouldn't use it in large amounts. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Hi Margaret, Depends.. was it Lavender (stocheas) variety? That one's not a calmative - it's the opposite.......could that have been it? Marilyn Margaret Helm-Duell wrote: > Have to remember that everyone is different and reacts differently to > things.
