eoils for mom and baby

[Guest guest]

I have client who is allergic to lavendar but would like to add eoils

to her hand creme I have recommended peace and calming and joy and

maybe geranium although I dont have geranium to give to her. I know she

wont want anything too expensive.

She would like some to use for the baby too but cant use gentle baby

because of lavendar. Do you have other recommdations?

Thanks,

Sonya

HI Sonya;

Note the Joy blend may have a little lavender in it too? Hers may or

may not be true allergy, as so much synthetic and pesticide laden

lavender has circulated through people's experience that may have been

her experience with it. In any case, there are many skin friendly

oils (generally even better than lavender for skin), and though in a

creme the other blend may do fine, I'd minimize it and favor these.

ylang Ylang, chamomile, melaleuca ericafolia, cedarwood, patchouli all

are unctuous and skin supportive with many good qualities, as are

jasmine, neroli, sandalwood, rose (for those who can afford). For

babies I like to have chamomile and that gentler melaleuca around

(calming/tummy and the second is calming too, in addition to

antimicrobial). Cedar is probably the cheapest of the bunch, with

many nice properties; geranium a good choice of course. Do you have

the desk reference or any book on essential oils uses? Connie

Higley's version of it gives more attention to choices specific for

infant needs as we discussed in class. Babies can benefit from all

these oils too, depends on the influences you want.

Blessings;

Ysha
