[MR] Boo Boo Juice

[Becky McEllistrem]

I don't know about comfrey but tea tree and lavender do help speed up the healing process of minor skin irritations, cuts and bruises.

Whenever I get a cut, I put a little lavender on it and it speeds up the healing noticeably.

Lavender is the only essential oil I know of that can be used directly on the skin.  Most need help delivering to the skin (ie put into any kind of lotion etc.)

I don't recommend them as a substitute for a severe allergic reaction but for minor cuts, rashes and bruises they help speed up the healing process.

I've had no first hand experience with comfrey - only tea tree and lavender.  I dislike the tea tree scent so I use the lavender.
