VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Hybrids are found in abundance such as lavandin.  These are NOT the species that should be chosen for health care use.  These hybrids contain camphor as the main constituent and yield ten times the volume of essential oil as compared to true lavender.  Therefore the application of lavandin on a burn would only worsen an already traumatic situation.  Several individuals have used an over the counter lavender oil on burns with extremely negative reactions to their injuries.  True lavender essential oil (Lavandula agustifolia) has a medicinal detergent-like smell, although it contains little or no camphor.  Hybrids have a distinguishable sweet floral odor.
