Although side effects are rare, some individuals may develop an allergic reaction to lavender. Nausea, vomiting, headache, and chills have also been reported in some individuals following inhalation or absorption of lavender through the skin.





I would not continue to rub this ointment on your child she might be allergic to lavender.
Reply:Are there other products that you use that contains lavender?


I know it is popular in the bath products.





Try skin free, it is the best lotion our daughter has hyper sensitive skin and this lotion works great.





Maybe she just has an upset stomach?
Reply:What's more dangerous for her is that her parent is taking medical advice for her care from internet people and not her pediatrician.
