Lavender?!

Published

How many of you have grown to love Essential Oils as much as I do?:facepalm::no:? I just had a student come and ask me if I have any "Lavender'? I knew it was probably some Essential Oil. But, I played dumb, and asked the student what it was. But, that NO I didn't have any, nor would I ever have any. I asked him who sent him to ask...He said the Mrs. SoandSo sent him. He showed me a few small scabbed, burned areas from something that occurred over the weekend when the student was too near the stove when dad was cooking supper.

Sorry buddy... no...never...not ever. :banghead: :banghead:

In my little pill cups I have cotton balls with peppermint oil around my room right now. The students think it just smells like Christmas. I know it's to keep away the dang fruit flies that have invaded this darn building. I can *almost* drink my orange juice in peace in the morning.

In my other life as a Camp Nurse I had a kid come with a whole kit of essential oils. It was fascinating. As long as she didn't share if with the other campers I was cool with it.

I think she skipped the diffuser and went to a straight up shot.

Now I'm about to go all yoga hippie in my clinic & get some peppermint oil. We have a serious fruit fly issue, too! If I don't eat my lunch fast they'll eat it first!

I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows.
