Lavender

Lavender: "Lavender has a soothing effect on inflammation, although this is not as pronounced as in chamomile; hence its use in burns, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, boils, rheumatism, wounds, ulcers, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, diarrhea, laryngitis, and so on. In most of these conditions its antiseptic properties are also of value. It is good for catarrhal discharges (leucorrhoea, gonorrhea, bronchitis, etc), and is also a mild analgesic, which enhances its value in most of the above conditions. It is good for rheumatic or muscular aches and pains, and is a useful ingredient for massage oils, especially for athletes and sportsmen." ...(Click on title link above to read entire article on the dramatic theraputic effects and uses of lavender.) ...
