[Everything doTERRA] Re: Lavender skin irritant ?

I am very new to essential oils, but one thing I do believe is that all things can bother someone.  That doesn't mean that essential oils in general can cause a specific problem, but I do believe that there are individuals that have extreme allergies or sensitivities that they can have problems.  I would always tell people to carefully test the oils they are using to see if they have a problem and to write down any reactions they may have or perceive to have.  I suppose I come from the idea that all "drugs" have side effects, beneficial or not, and that is the same for these wonderful oils.  After all the majority of pharmaceuticals are developed from natural sources.  Just because something is natural does not mean that sensitivities or allergies can't occur.

If my little girl has licked her bottom lip too much and I put lavender on it, yes it will burn, me too, and I have never had yeast issues. I'm very thankful. So Lavender is strong and potent of doTERRA's but not harmful. So Myrrh has worked well for the sensitive people in my home. On a burn, you won't notice it because well the burn is burning ! Lavender has said to hurt worse on a burn though I use something else (homemade stuff) and then use lavender a bit later.

Oh thanks Stacy, Eroka& Gin...I did not connect the dots about Lavender& candida even though I remember Laura Jacobs specifically saying that @convention. In fact I have shared her suggestions for eczema w/many but had not thought about the root cause for a senitivity to Lavender being candida, duh! I know candida is the issue w/eczema...thanks for the reminder & I will remember now!:)
