In the past few weeks we have had several instances when someone in the house would have itchy eyes. I had heard that lavender above the brow and down the cheek bone would help. We tried it and had great results. Then this morning my oldest son came to breakfast with really red and itchy eyes. As a mom the first thing I think of is pink eye. I have no idea if he had pink eye, but I remembered seeing in my Essential Oil pocket reference book pink eye the other day. So I looked it up and it had several recommendations. I placed a little olive oil on my finger and added a drop of the lavender, I then placed it around his brow and cheek bone, told him to keep his eyes closed while I finished breakfast. By the time breakfast was over, eyes no longer red and itchy. Amazing. I just checked again and still white eyes.
