We must remember that essential oils are powerful compounds and that although they are natural, extracts from various botanical material , they are highly concentrated, and should never be left
where children can get hold of them. Some pure essential oils can be expensive since they are hard to come by. If can take as many 500 to 2,000 pounds of raw plant material, to produce a single pound of pure essential oil. These plants should also be organically grown whenever possible, In addition, the harvesting procedures and extraction processes are critical to quality. It is important to have documentation of the purity and quality of an essential oil so you don't get something that just smells nice, without the therapeutic qualities. Although we believe that essential oils can be beneficial to the general health of adults as well as children, it must be kept in mind that essential oils should never be taken orally , unless so advised by your licensed medical practitioner, and that even small amounts of essential oils that are ingested can cause severe medical problems.
🟣Always buy essential oils in dark glass bottles. Never buy essential oils in plastic containers or put
them into.
🟣 When buying essential oils make sure that the bottles are secured securely closed and a dropper dispenser is fitted into the neck of the bottle.
🟣 Keep your essential oils in safe place - not only will it keep them out of the reach of small hands,but a cool dark place will also help to retard oxidation of the oils.
🟣 Never use essential oils undiluted on the skin, and when preparing a blend for a child, remember that you would halve the strength where you would normally include a 2% dilution of essential oil to the carrier oil, you would prepare a 1% dilution for use on a child.
🟣 You use a weaker dilution on children because their bodies are smaller and their skins are also more sensitive - in adults you would use 6 drops of essential oil to 20ml carrier oil, while on children you would only use 2-3 drops to 20ml of carrier oil.
🟣Should you use essential oils in steam inhalation never leave the child alone or unsupervised, and keep the inhalation to 1 minute.
Introduce One Essential Oil At a time
Allergies are no fun , when introducing essential oils to babies. You have to remember that you haven't yet discovered the things they are allergies to. It's important to introduce essential oils one at a time and sparingly to both watch your baby for any sort of reaction and to allow your baby's body to slowly become introduced to that essential oil. Do not introduce more than one essential oil in one day. If your baby is going to have a reaction an essential oil they will likely show signs of a reaction in the first 15-30 minutes after inhalation or dermal application.
Note: Patch testing can be done for children with sensitive skin or allergies. this done by applying a little diluted oil to the inside of the elbow. Leave it unwashed for 20-40 hours and if any redness or itching occurs, that oil should not be used.

Hydrosols ( as to known as " flower waters," are produced by distilling fresh leaves, fruits,
flowers, and other plant materials. With similar therapeutic properties to essential oils , these aromatic waters are less concentrated) are a much gentler and softer option for babies, where essential oils can't be used
