Denise

Denise's son suffers from nervous tension, which goes straight to his stomach. This produces headaches and brings on halitosis. This blend seems to clear up the bad breath and gets rid of the headaches as well. He then sleeps like a log and is a much happier fellow for it!

Using the amounts recommended in the blending chart above, mix essential oils in equal amounts and then add to 1 ounce of carrier oil of your choice. Sweet almond is excellent, though be advised if your child has a nut allergy you will have to use another type of oil. Jojoba is an excellent none nut-based oil.

Bobbi

When Bobbi's daughter starts to sniffle she is ushered into a warm bath (just before bed) into which this blend is added (her daughter is 10 years old).

2 drops Manuka
2 drops Eucalyptus, radiata
2 drops Lavender
1 cup Epsom salts

Blend oils into salts and mix well. Add salt blend under running water and swirl bath water to thoroughly mix blend into water. Soak for 15-20 minutes.

After the bath Bobbi massages our Terminator blend (diluted in a carrier oil) onto her chest and back to give her immune system a boost while she sleeps. This treatment can make the difference between her getting sick and not. If we don't manage to catch it in time, I have found she gets well much faster than her friends who ALSO manage to catch it!

Alice

When Alice's children come down with congested chests and coughs she whips us this recipe for them. (Both are in their early teens; use half the amount on younger children; do not use on babies.)

4 drops Niaouli
3 drops Ravintsara
2 drops Birch (sweet)
1 drop Lavender

Add to 10ml carrier oil, shake well and apply before bedtime.

Paula

Paula has blended up a fun, calming lotion for her children by mixing equal portions of

10-15 drops Sweet Orange
10-15 drops Vanilla
into 30ml or our unscented moisturizing base cream.

The kids have fun with it because they smell like a Creamsicle and Paula likes it because it helps her crew of three mellow out at the end of the day!
