Aromatherapy And Kids
from: Kevin PedersonAromatherapy is a new approach to emotional well being and
healing through the use of essential oils. Oils in aromatherapy
have soothing effect on the body, mind and soul.
A gentle hug, smile or a kiss are forms of connection, bonding
between the parent and the child. A loving nurturing touch of
massage on the feet, arms, hands, back, abdomen and legs is
therapeutic for both the child and parent, usually the mother.
Babies at six weeks of age can recognize their mother's scent,
hence making them extremely sensitive to any kind of fragrance,
pleasant or unpleasant. Fragrant essential oils used during the
upbringing of your child supports your little one's health,
happiness and well being.
Essential oils have distinct composition determining the
fragrance, colour, and effect on our body. Before you introduce
your child to the aromatic world of fragrances, seek advice from
your GP or qualified aroma therapist. If possible, carry out
detailed research your self on the oil you plan to use on your
infant or child.
Listed below are few commonly used essential oils that are used
for kids.
- Lavender oil is excellent home remedy for headaches, earaches
and even insect bites. - Geranium and rose oils act as a good
skin softener, toner and natural astringent. - Chamomile and
peppermint oils prevent hair loss. - Lavender, lemon and curry
leaf oils provide relief from dandruff. - For any bruises and
burns, use tea tree and lavender oils. - Black pepper oil is
good for constipation. - Cedar wood, eucalyptus and tea tree
oils alleviate coughs. - Ginger, lavender and thyme oil works
wonders on sore throats. - Lavender and roman chamomile oil
blend allows for restful sleep at night. - Lemon and grapefruit
oils added to a tub of warm water for a bath refreshes the kid.
A word of caution for any parents planning on using aromatherapy
oils on their children. Please exercise caution while using
essential oils. Its best to stick to mild oils and less is best.
Since essential oils are highly concentrated, make sure that
they are properly diluted with water or carrier oils. Improper
dilution can result in skin irritation for your little ones.
Don't let your children be alone while using essential oils.
