Aromatherapy For Children' s Common Ailments
from: Francoise RappAromatherapy for Children, Part 1
Although the use of aromatherapy is typically associated with adults, children can also
benefit from the healing and soothing powers of aromatherapy. They are very attracted
to different scents and love to experience it through diffusion, baths, massage,
inhalation, and even topically.
Children particularly enjoy creating aromatic blends for their own use. Whether creating
a blend to help calm themselves at night, or helping to identify the essential oils or
blends to use on burns or wounds, aromatherapy can be a fun way for children to
participate in their healing through an effective natural therapy.
There are few rules of thumb when it comes to aromatherapy for children. First of all,
since children are much more sensitive than adults, the concentration of essential oils in
their blends should be at least three times less than adult blends. I also recommend that
children under the age of 5 should not use aromatherapy directly (bath or massage).
Instead, use the essential oils in a nebulizer and run it for just 10 minutes in the room.
The other option is to use hydrosols or floral waters instead of essential oils in their
bath.
Children can safely use the following essential oils: Lavender, Roman Chamomile,
Orange, Lemon, Neroli, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Grapefruit, Marjoram, Dill, Cardamom,
Rose, Basil and Melissa.
So what are the most common childhood ailments, and how can you safely use aromatic
blends on your children? Try creating the following recipes at home for a natural healing
alternative. In future Health and Beauty editions, you will learn more about the holistic
aspects of aromatherapy for children and teenagers.
To create these blends, pour your essential oils into a 10-ml bottle, and fill will organic
vegetable oil.
