Answer
Dear Mr. Paul Fava,

Lavender is very good in soothe and heal burn skin.

to make a compress. Add a liter of water and 5 ml of lavender essential oils and shake vigorously.

Cotton handkerchief should be saturated with the lotion applied to the burn. This treatment repeated as soon as the cloth becomes dry. This treatment will take out lots of heat and soothe the burn skin.

as an alternative to compress, fill a mist spray with lukewarm water and add lavender oil, then spray to the burnt areas. Can be repeated as often as required.

Don't forget to drink plenty of waters.

Hope that helps.

Thank You,
Liani Widjaja
