After taking far too long to commit to the world of essential oils, I finally took the plunge. I am a research junkie and just needed to take the time to understand exactly what essential oils were and what was the best choice for our family. Young Living was by far the best choice for us. I have been blown away at how amazing they have been and how well our boys respond to the oils. We use very little and sometimes even just a portion of a drop is all that they need. It is always best to err on the side of caution. Essential oils are beautiful, concentrated bits of nature and are extremely powerful. Essential oils are far more concentrated than herbs and when used appropriately the results are amazing. I absolutely love this graphic below, it a great reference and reminder on diluting based on age. While every child is different, this is a great place to start when you are new to essential oils.
Listen to this great podcast on using essential oils with children, you will be so thankful you took the time, the 30 minutes are so worth it! The interview is with two wonderful resources Dr. Lindsey Elmore, PharmD, BCPS (the Farmacist) and Royal Crown Diamond Debra Raybern, the author of Gentle Babies book a great resource for using Young Living products during pregnancy and motherhood.
