Niaouli is a powerful antibacterial, but I'm not sure it is necessarily a

helpful respiratory oil...

 

my first three thoughts for a child that age would be

 

myrtle... Myrtus communis

 

hyssop Hyssop decumbens

 

or Eucalyptus radiata

 

I'd also think about Frankincense and Black Spruce...both are wonderful

oils for respiratory support.

 

I'd not diffuse any of them all night long... perhaps five to ten minutes

at bedtime, and again first thing in the morning...

 

(this is assuming that the problems are NOT asthma and not allergy related!!!!)

We know it better as Melaleuca quinquenervia (cineole type). Bush

harvested in a few areas along parts of the east coast of Australia. My

better half swears by it for relieving congestion from colds and flu. So

do a number of `guinea pigs' who use it. To prevent strong words and

`discussion', and allow for peacefullness, an oil that must always be in

stock at this little home.
