So... WOW! Pretty amazing EO! Interesting fun fact:
French chemist and scholar René-Maurice Gattefossé discovered the virtues of  lavender. Gattefossé badly burned his hand during an experiment in a perfumery plant and plunged his hand into the nearest tub of liquid, which just happened to be lavender EO. He was later amazed at how quickly his burn healed and with very little scarring. This started a fascination with essential oils and inspired him to experiment with them during the First World War on soldiers in the military hospitals. He later coined the word Aromatherapy around 1928. AMAZING!
