Perfect Gift: Lavender Products & Essential Oil for Lavender Aromatherapy

While uncommon, it is possible to experience an allergic reaction to lavender flowers or lavender essential oil or other essential oils. Possible signs of allergic contact dermatitis include a red rash, swelling, and itching. To treat allergic contact dermatitis caused by lavender or plant based essential oils, consider trying cool compresses, calamine lotion, and colloidal oatmeal baths. It's best to try any essential oil on a small area of skin to test for any allergic reaction.See your healthcare provider for more information.
