I was recently out of state visiting family. My sister (who is really not into oils or many alternative approaches) mentioned having an earache and pain along her jaw. It was early evening, and I didn't have time to research but grabbed my Lavender Oil. I put a drop on a piece of cotton ball and she tucked it inside a little wad so the oil wasn't directly on her skin. She put it loosely in her ear (not into the ear canal) and before she went to bed the earache was gone. She left it in when she went to bed. I have no idea if it fell out during the night, but the next day her gland was no longer hurting. Good job, little drop of Lavender, good job! *applause*
