Author: Is it safe to apply pure lavender essential oil on the face of a six-year old boy ? Not all over the face of course - but by applying it with a cotton bud on three small “warts” (molluscum c’s) ?
Thank you 
Lavender and tea-tree are usually the essential oils that are safe to put directly on the skin, but I wouldn’t use lavender for molluscum - which is contagious and can spread over the rest of the body and sometimes can become infected. It is not dangerous. But you should take him to see a homeopath in order to distinguish the growths i.e. whether they are warts or molluscum and an appropriate treatment needs to be given.

Yesterday I read about a cosmetologist mom that I believe uses lavender essential oil mixed with water as a rinse after washing the hair. I didn't print it off to get all the details and now I cannot find it. I have a 5 year old and the other things are so harsh on her little head. I think this might be a good preventative. Please help if you can. Thank you.
I haven't heard anything about lavendar oil, but I SWEAR by Tea Tree Oil. My poor daughter was a magnet for head lice when she was younger. After someone recommended Tea Tree Oil, she never got it again. I would put a bunch of drops in a spray bottle with water and spary it in her hair when I was brushing it in the morning and at night. I would also use the shampoo with added oil to help me get rid of the lice, and use the shampoo for regular hair washes.
It works like a charm!
Also, it is NOT true that children who have poor personal hygene get lice. I have attached a link below for more info;

Good luck!

I bought the lavender essential oil and it smelled like turpentine oil. Is it the actual smell of lavender oil?
I bought the lavender oil from a brand which makes cosmetics for aromatherapy
It's supposed to smell like lavender.
