DK : How will you recommend us to use Aromatherapy?

Nancy : Aromatherapy can be beneficial to children's health, and if people are informed, they can use it to help their children.

As the caregiver, you're the person who is going to carry out the instructions, and I rely on you to follow them correctly. Also, please take care to find a reputable supplier of essential oils.

DK : Please recommend some applications to us.

Nancy : The first essential oil people often buy is lavender because it's so versatile. It can help with the healing process of cuts and grazes, and is the best thing for burns. Plus it smells nice and can be diffused around the home, or put in the bath for when you want to relax and have a good sleep.

Roman chamomile oil can be used with great effect on children when they feel irritable, impatient, teething or colicky.

Lemon can be used in a room diffuser or air-freshening spray, or even to wash laundry to enhance anti-septic effect.

Add a few more essential oils together and you get not only their individual properties, but the fact that when two or more essential oils are mixed together, they make a new therapeutic composition, able to perform tasks not possible for the individual oils on their own.
