Lavender is a magical multitasker, a jack of all trades. It's a universal oil that balances the mind, body, and spirit. It is a must-have for emergency kits, (if you're going to a deserted island, and can only bring one oil, bring lavender). It does everything from disinfect to perfume. I keep this in my kitchen where it's handy for burns.
