I use Lavender oil. I am always burning myself on the woodstove. I burned my hand with a propane torch and poured the Lavender oil liberally all over it. Also had a severe burn( that eventually took the skin off my fingers), I poured the lavender all over it then used Silvadene no blisters, no scars. The trick with Lavender oil is to use it often and make sure you apply it 1/4 to 1/2 in. past the burn area, if you don't it won't work as well. Also I never use water, just the oil. Used water once the the Lavender and didn't work as well. Do some research on it. I use Aura Cacia as it is not diluted or adulterated. Marilyn
