Re: lavender can cause serious reactions

[Guest guest]

I agree 100%. I am chemically senstitive and so is my friend. But that is a

broad description. We react to some of the same things, but some things that

bother her do not bother me - and vice versa. For example: She has EMF issues

- I do not. She can tolerate natural fragrances only. I cqnnot tolerate any

fragrance and that especially includes essential oils.

Beware of using lavender and other essential oils around chemically

sensitive people. One chemically sensitive person in our family gets " hit "

with lavender (yes, every brand, even organic pure stuff--the highest

quality, most expensive) just like formaldehyde and reacts to ONE drop on

someone's forehead in the room. Reaction: brain fog (confusion, stroke-type

symptoms) for hours.

Cedar (which, by the way, is not effective for moths) is also problematic.

Please don't think things are safe because they're natural.
