Lavender is great for the skin and is used to treat eczema and psoriasis(sp?), both of which cause itching. She probably itches because the helmet irritates her scalp/skin. Just make sure you're using a good quality lavender E.O. A lot of lavender essential oils on the market are mixed with lavandin, a hybrid cousin of lavender. Lavandin had wonderful properties but it can't be used interchangeably with lavender because lavandin contains camphor. If you use it on burns, it will make the burn worse, whereas real, pure lavender is great for burns. This is why some people will try aromatherapy and say it doesn't work -- the " essential oil " they use is a synthetic or somehow doesn't have the chemical components of the genuine E.O. so the results are different.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hi Beth, Have you tried using witch hazel and lavender essential oil in your formula? The smell factor would be gone and you might have a winning formula for your friend. I use witch hazel for most itchy, sticky situations and it works well for me. Good luck, Jen Olson Jentlesoaps , BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
