I cannot sit down to have a bath though because I am still too sore and weak.

Put a couple drops in warm water and wet a rag in the warm water and apply it for a few minutes. You can probably wet a sanitary napkin the same way and apply it like that if you can't get up much.

You can also use it on cool compresses the same way (refrigerate the wet sanitary napkin for a while for the cool benefits .

The nether region likes both warm (encourage good circulation, and promote healing) and cold (numb the area for pain managment and reduce swelling).

Or just fill a water bottle with warm water, add the drops to that, and spray the area when you use the restroom. Wait a minute or so to get some good effects then dry well.

Does it have to be PURE lavender oil? I could only find lavender oil that has some added apricot and something else...

Oh my lord!
I started using the oil yesterday and it truly feels amazing how much it soothes.

I also discovered that if I massage my boobs after pumping with this lavender body oil they don't ache that much at all.

Nature is wonderful.
