Oils for Mamas and Babies
/This is an informative tutorial on oil use for mommies and babies. I enjoyed hearing from this gal and concurred with her usage suggestions!
The top oils I use on my babies skin (diluted) and aromatically in their rooms are Melaleuca, Lavender, and Breathe. Oh...and Frankincense is the best oil booster. I currently use a teething support blend on my 8-month old, an immune booster blend on my 1-year old and 3-year old, and I've recently started using Serenity at night on my 3-year old to help him "wind down". Smile. At the end of our bedtime routine, he looks at me and says "oil on back?" Because all my babies are curlies I also use a blend on their hair to moisturize their locks. I'd be glad to share any of my blend recipes if you're interested.
I only use doTERRA oils and always refer to my dilution guide. In short, essential oil usage for us has:
1) liberated us from pharmaceutical parameters (I.e. prescriptions, fear-based thinking, synthetic drugs that can't be used on youngsters, etc.)
2) given us a safe, all natural, non-synthetic resource to support our infants and toddlers in both prevention and corrective health needs
3) given us creation-based tools to engage our soul and body health
4) been FUN!
If any of you want to get connected to doTERRA and begin integrating oil use into your lives let me know-I would be very glad to support you in that process.
P.s. My facial skin is currently supple with Frankincense, applied this am. I just finished drinking my morning water (12 oz. room temp water, 1 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 drop doTERRA lemon essential oil, a pinch of salt, and a shake of cayenne pepper). And I currently have Breathe, Citrus Bliss, and Basil diffusing around me. Yaaay, we live an oil lifestyle, and you can too!
