Lavender Oil Heals Terrible Wound with No Scarring

My lavender story is about the healing power of lavender: After 35 years in construction with no accidents, my husband cut his hand with a power saw. He had to have surgery on his 3 fingers and then three more plastic surgeries.

After his first surgery, he had about 80-100 sutures to his fingers. I started to use lavender essential oil on his suture line twice a day because of its healing potential.

When we went for his follow-up visit to the plastic surgeon, all the stitches were out and he only had one tiny scar (which has since gone away).

The plastic surgeon asked what I had done and I told him about lavender oil. He was amazed how quickly it healed and with minimal scarring.
