Natural Health: Holistic Aromatherapy for ChildrenSee more articles like this...





Ease the emotional issues of childhood, including guilt,loneliness, hyperactivity and neediness with safe holistic aromatherapy for children.



Holistic Aromatherapy for Children

Aromatherapy is an enjoyable and beneficial alternative therapy for our young ones. But aromatherapy heals more than just common childhood ailments. It also has a great impact on the emotional and mental issues children face on a daily basis.

Children have their own ways of dealing with stress and internal conflict. Some internalize their emotions and attempt to hide their thoughts and feelings. Others may become overly expressive or abnormally active. Many children simply don't know how to process their complex feelings. Unlike adults, children do not have the skills and the maturity to find healthy outlets for their emotions..

Stresses in a child's family, school and social settings can contribute to any number of emotional issues, including guilt, loneliness, hyperactivity and neediness. Whatever situation your children may be facing, it is most important to emphasize communication, or share your concerns with a child therapist. I also encourage you to use one of the aromatic blends below to safely enhance the work of any therapy..

In a 10ml bottle, pour the essential oils and then add any organic vegetable oil to fill (jojoba, sweet almond, grapeseed, etc.).

-2 drops Marjoram
-1 drop Rose
Massage along the spine, the solar plexus and heart chakra. Pour a few drops of the blend into your child's warm bath water and have him/her soak for at least 10 minutes. Pour a few drops in the palm of your hands and have your child inhale deeply..

Guilt Issues:

What is Aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils, absolutes, carrier oils and other fragrances from plants to affect someone's mood or health, and is commonly associated with alternative medicine.

Aromatherapy n. the massaging of the skin with oils or creams containing fragrant plant extracts: a treatment in alternative medicine designed to relieve tension and cure certain skin disorders
From The Collins English Dictionary

Aromatherapy means “treatment using scents”. It is a holistic treatment of caring for the body with pleasant smelling botanical oils such as rose, lemon, lavender and peppermint. The essential oils are added to the bath or massaged into the skin, inhaled directly or diffused to scent an entire room. Aromatherapy is used for the relief of pain, care for the skin, alleviate tension and fatigue and invigorate the entire body. Essential oils can affect the mood, alleviate fatigue, reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. When inhaled, they work on the brain and nervous system through stimulation of the olfactory nerves.
