Oddly enough Lavender oil is an exception. It has amazing properties. It was found to be effective against burns and scalds by accident when a chemist scorched his arm and the only closest liquid around was a bowl of neat lavender oil. It cooled the skin almost instantly and then he found, cleared the scar. Hence it's fame. Sorry to be pedantic mate but I got a steam burn only yesterday, dabbed the oil, and felt better within seconds.
