Lavender does work great on burns - I've used it myself with great results. One word of caution, though - you must be sure it is therapeutic grade lavender, as many essential oils labeled as "lavender" actually have extenders in them that are lavendin - and lavendin can actually make a burn worse. So, be sure the oils you are using are not adulterated with extenders, etc. One way to tell is if there is a label on it saying that it is safe for internal use.

@ Mary -- Lavender is great on wasp stings too -- got nailed on the hand out in the garden shed last year, started swelling immediately. Grabbed the bottle of lavender and doused the area, literally 30 seconds later no pain, in five minutes you had to know where the little guy nailed me to find the mark.

Bad dreams try lavender. Works great for children and night frights. Also great for burns. I always counsel clients to have lavender in the kitchen. Get it on the burn immediately and it will literally heal overnight

Nyema,
Young Living makes another blend that my husband likes for bad dreams - it's called Dream Catcher. It has sandalwood, pepper, anise, tangerine, bergamot, blue tansy, ylang ylang and juniper in it.

Hi, Nyema
YL stands for Young Living, a company that makes therapeutic-grade essential oils. And M-Grain is an oil blend that they make that is good for migraines. Yes, Frankincense is great for many things, including bad dreams. It's also one of my first choices for depression!
