Here are some simple guidelines for using essential oils on babies for vaccines:
BEFORE

- Apply Onguard or a Protective Blend on the bottoms of feet a week before vaccines and right before the appointment to build up the immune system
- Apply Lavender, Serenity or a Calming Blend to the bottoms of the feet before the appointment
AFTER
- Apply Lavender to injection site(s)
- Apply Lavender, Lemon and Breathe to the bottoms on the feet afterwards for calming effects and Breathe or a Respiratory Blend to open airways afterwards. Use Lemon oil or Cilantro oil to rid the body of toxins or heavy metals that may be in vaccines.
- If child develops a fever apply Lavender and Peppermint oil to the bottoms of the feet. Studies have shown that Peppermint oil reduces fevers. Apply as needed. As long as my little one expressed discomfort I would reapply.
- Since Frankincense is a wonderful "Heal all" oil, I applied this to my little one as well
*** ALWAYS dilute essential oils when applying to children under 2 years of age. I recommend diluting with Fractionated Coconut Oil because it comes in liquid form and absorbs rapidly into the skin without an oily residue***

Love this information. Its exactly what I had been doing for my littlest before and after her immunisations and I swear it has made a difference compared to how her older sister suffered with the over the counter children's pain medicines and an ice pack.
ReplyDeletePeppermint, rosemary and eucalyptus essential oils should not be used in children younger than 6 (some say 10) due to causing breathing issues in some children. Please research the safety of using some oils (some can be diffused but can't be applied for example) especially with young children. Essential oils can be very powerful and dangerous, especially to very young children with delicate immune systems and thin skin. Please be safe when using essential oils and children should never ingest them.
ReplyDeleteEssential oils should not be used on babies period. Please do some research outside of your mlm on EO Safety.
