Essential Oil Blends Formulated for Kids
When I began learning about essential oils, the only thing that undercut my excitement, was the concern of diluting correctly for my children.
I couldn't help worrying about getting it right (I didn't want to harm them!), and I wasn't always sure of the correct dilution principals as it could be different for different oils.
Then, there was the issue of which oils were actually safe for children. I needed to be careful there as well.
It was easy to feel overwhelmed.
Can you relate?
There is a lot of research available for learning the specifics of using essential oils with children, and I encourage you to seek those out, however, I'd also like to bring to your attention some prepared blends that take the guess work (and time) out of it.
My favorite essential oil company just came out with a Kids Line of oils that are already diluted and packaged into roller bottles. This is good for two reasons:
- No worrying about them being safe – they did the work for you
- Already prepared oils are easy to use (which makes them more likely to actually be used!)
The Rocky Mountain Oils Kids Line includes a variety of blends that could be used throughout the day:
- Breathe – may help support balanced breathing
- Bug Away – repels insects
- Clear Head – helps relieve mental fatigue
- Concentrate – aids in mental focus (I need an adult version of this!)
- Counting Sheep – promotes relaxation and sleep
- Immunity – may protect against environmental threats (contains Ravintsara)
- Muscle Soothe – may aid in soothing sore muscles
- Ouchie – a soothing blend to relieve unexpected “ouchies”
- Skin Balance – useful for irritated skin
- Tummy Time – for relieving occasional tummy aches
- Kids Daily Kit – contains immunity, concentrate, muscle soothe, and counting sheep
They are intended for use with children two years of age and up.
I've used a few of the oils with my kids this week and am very happy with them. My oldest daughter especially loves the Skin Balance (mostly because of the way it smells). My youngest (pictured above) likes the ouchie blend (mostly because she can apply it herself).
Now, while these are great, I'm still not going to let me kids just play with the essential oils. But, it is wonderful that they can apply it themselves and I don't have to worry about burns from undiluted oils.
