There are many childhood conditions that can benefit enormously from the gentle application of essential oil therapy.

Due to the purity and volatility of essential oils and the delicate nature and sensitivity of a child’s skin, use of oils with children should be approached with awareness, knowledge and care. Gentle oils such as sweet orange is perfect to aid in digestive disorders in babies and children. Pure organic high quality base oils such as jojoba is a very effective remedy to relieve discomfort from eczema, and delicate hydrosol sprays can be used to relieve itching.

Little discrete inhaler sticks can be used to support emotional wellbeing, anxiety and worry particularly in pre-teens and teens around exam time, blended with calmative and anxiolytic oils such as true lavender and bergamot.

Some of the many conditions that can be supported by the use of aromatherapy includes:

• Allergies (hay fever, skin sensitivities)

• Bedwetting

• Chickenpox

• Immune system health (coughs, colds, fungal infections, sore throats)

• Digestive disorders (nausea, reflux, constipation, flatulence, colic)

• Emotional & mental wellbeing (anxiety, depression, stress, worry)

• General musculoskeletal aches and pains (including growing pains & teething)

• Neurodivergent sensitivities

• Respiratory issues (croup, asthma, dyspnoea)
