How much Essential oil should I use and what amounts are safe to Use with Babies, Children Adults and the Elderly?
by Penny Keay This is a question that we get a lot and especially now with flu season upon us it is more important now that you know how much and what essential oils are safe to use especially with babies and young children. They get just as miserable as us and have difficulty sleeping, have aches and pains, along with stuffy noses and chest congestion. Although essential oils can help relieve symptoms, young children and babies cant really tell you if they are working for them. You have to be very observant and of course use common sense. As for the elderly, again, some may not be able to tell you much. When properly used essential oils are very safe and very effective ways to make life more comfortable in our lives. Remember – less is safer to use than more when it comes to using essential oils. You can always add more, but you can’t take them out of a blend or the air once added. This newsletter we will discuss the safe amounts to be used for various age groups when used in massage
