  1. This is a sound recipe...but, the only thing I would like to mention is to watch how much essential oil you give to chidren. They absorb it alot faster than adults. If this is going to be used for adults, you can go up to 10 drops quite successfully. The second thing would be to add the essential oil after the hot water has cooled down somewhat. Essential oils are heat sensitive, so if you are wanting the healing properties of the Lavender, you should add it at the end.
