How to Use Essential Oils for Kids

Video Transcript

"Hi there. If you're interested in using essential oils for children, I'm Sundae, from Natural Sundae, and I'm going to tell you a few things. Now, when you use essential oils and aromatherapy around children, you want to make sure that you use the most mild and gentle oils possible, and in this case, that would be lavender, and any orange oils, and this includes sweet orange, tangerine, neroli, which is orange blossom, and basically that's it. You can use mandarin as well, too, so lavender and all the orange oils. Now basically, the best method of application for children, is through inhalation. Children have very thin, and sensitive, and fragile skin, so you definitely don't, even though essential oils are gentle, you don't want to apply it topically, until they're a little bit older, I'd say around, eight or nine or ten. With the smaller kids, I would stick to just inhalation. Now, with inhalation, the best way to apply this, is to make your own air spray, and making your own air spray, of lavender and all the orange essential oils, is a very easy, and very healthy and natural way, to help soothe and calm your children. It really, I have a friend who helps her kids go to bed, helps them relax, and she sprays it in their bedroom, when they're getting ready for bed, and she has found that it really does make a difference in calming their spirits, taking that energy out, and preparing them for bed, so using essential oils for kids is very, very easy. You just have to remember to choose wisely. Lavender and any orange oil will do. Spray it in the air, and you're good.I'm Sundae, with Natural Sundae. Take care, guys."
