The tender skin of children, especially of babies, is an important gateway for the treatment of ailments such as stomach ache or slight nausea, through a gentle massage. In addition, the skin can be nourished and the immune system can be stimulated with this blend.
The lavender oil with its balancing, calming and at the same time also antiseptic effect, can ease irritations of the skin which may be caused by diapers or the build-up of body heat.
The components of the sweet mandarin oil support the balancing effect, enhance the lymphatic flow, are antiseptic and strengthen the immune system.
The regenerating qualities of the cedar oil nourish the skin and, like the mandarin, they convey a sense of comfort.
Palmarosa oil is popular for use in all children’s disease, as it wards off bacteria as well as fungi and supports the immune system.
Application: The blend is gently rubbed into the skin, preferentially into the soles of the feet.
Caution: Do not use on children (<8 y.) and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding!
Essential oils should never be applied undiluted, always mix it with a carrier oil (carrier substance).
If possible, test the patient for tolerance by having him smell the oil!
