2. Use Lavender to Treat Everything from Sunburns to Insomnia
Lavender is widely considered to be the most important essential oil. Therefore, preppers who truly want to be prepared for everything should have at least two bottles of lavender essential oil in their kit.
Lavender can be applied to the skin to treat sunburns, bruises, bug bites, cuts and other general skin irritations.
Additionally, diffusing lavender oil can be beneficial for relieving stress, depression, earaches, inflammation and sleep deprivation. Lavender is also useful as an antihistamine, and it can even help you get rid of lice.
