Recipes for Organic Massage Oil

Children are born with a wonderful sense of smell. After only a few days a newborn baby will recognize his own mother just by her smell. Just as we take care to introduce simple foods to our baby, usually only one kind at a time, we need to take the same care when introducing aromas. What is wonderful for us as adults, is simply too overpowering for a baby. ( Note : If your child has asthma or epilepsy, consult your health practitioner before using essential oils. )

 

We believe that the sense of smell plays a very important role in a child's development. Do you want that smell to be an artificial fragrance that is plugged into the bathroom or a gentle organic essential oil from the petals of a plant ?

Recipe for Newborn to 6 months : 

You can use an organic oil such as olive or sunflower. Please be sure it is organic.

When a baby is less than 1 year old, it is important to use only the gentlest essential oils. The only ones that I recommend are Lavender and Roman Chamomile. It is best if you can use organic essential oils.

 Added Tip : This oil is also great for cradle cap. Just rub very gently onto the scalp

 

Recipe for 6 months to 1 year :

• Same as above except mix 2 drops of either Lavender or Roman Chamomile
  in 1 ounce of organic oil ( olive or sunflower )
  

Recipe for 1 - 3 years :

• Mix 4-5 drops of of an essential oil in 1 ounce of organic oil (olive or sunflower)
• You can choose any one of these essential oils : Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Geranium, Rose Otto,
  
• Pour into a glass bottle ( not plastic ) and keep away from the light when not in use.
• Shake Gently before each use.  ( This is because we didn't add a chemical emulsifier )
• It will keep for 3 months.
