Good day to my favorite kids, Yea, lavender is ready to be harvested. Find about a 4oz lotion squeeze bottle. Can be one of those in the traveling sample isle at your local store. Cut your lavender off just below the flower heads. A handful should be enough. Or A handful of rose petals. In a small sauce pan heat about 8oz of olive oil, (personally, I like the lighter olive oil, its not so strong in olive oil smell). After the olive oil has become warm, not boiling, place your handful of lavender flowers in the pot. Take it off the heat and let it sit till cool. Strain the flowers out of the oil with cheese cloth or a small type strainer. Press on the flower heads to get most the oil out. Pour your smelling cool oil into your 4oz lotion squeeze bottle. Great when used after a shower for lotion. After you apply it to your legs, arms, face, run your oily hands and fingers through your hair to get the excess oil off. Have a tooth ache, tried and proven. Put a spoonful of Sesame oil in your mouth. Pull the oil through and around the tooth area where the pain and swelling are. Do this for about 10 minutes each day till the swelling and pain are gone. Sesame oil is a natural antibiotic. It can be applied to small open sores on the skin, although I have never tried that. But, the tooth thing works. Still have pilot cars over the pass with about an hour wait each way, so it will be quite a while before I make it over to the valley. Love you all, smile and have a good Sunday. Love Mom
