Dōterra - Essential oils for newborns

Essential oils are safe for the entire family. One of the things that is most beneficial about the essential oils is that we're not isolated to only certain members of the family even very young children. One of the most common questions that I receive is On my new born could I safely use the essential oils With younger children, we see common symptoms, we have digestive upset or we have congestion, we have irritability, we have diaper rash. One of the great values of essential oils is our ability to approach those symptoms with great confidence without worry of irritation or side effect. It's always a good idea to choose some of the more mild or some of the more calming and soothing essential oils. Although we traditionally may not think of lavender as been soothing for digestive upset... actually because of the chemistry involved with lavender it is excellent for newborn babies who have stomach upset. I know that I'm using it essential oil that is calming, soothing, very mild & non irritating. It is a good idea, when we use essential oils with younger children to consider diluting the essential oil. This way, we can use the oils that we would traditionally think of using four ourselves while knowing that it will be calming & soothing for the child. As an example, DigestZen is an essential oil that we commonly think of for using for any type of a digestive upset. Applying DigestZen over the tummy or to the bottom of the feet is an excellent way to take advantage of all the benefits that you may receive that now you want your child to also receive.
