Aromatherapy is the therapeutic practice of using aromatic essential oils from plants to improve and support the wellbeing of the mind, body, and spirit. Essential oils can be safer alternatives to conventional medicines and harsh chemicals.
Lavender essential oil can be a powerful tool in the holistic home and we love that it is gentle and safe enough to use for for baby when properly diluted. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should never be applied directly to the skin. Instead, we recommend adding a few drops to an organic carrier oil, cream or lotion, or adding a few drops to a diffuser if you want an ultra simple and pleasant way to experience lavender’s extraordinary benefits.
There are many ways that your newborn baby can enjoy the benefits of lavender essential oil. Here are a few of our favorites.
As always, we recommend using the highest quality lavender oil for infants. Did we miss one of your favorite ways to use lavender oil in the home? Leave us your holistic remedies in the comments below.
