Who are Essential Oils for?
Certainly, certain contraindications presented by Essential Oils must always be scrupulously respected.

Moms know that they can aromatize baby's room before bedtime to purify the air or promote sleep . It’s a simple and beneficial gesture that any family can appreciate.

Precautions must be observed before using essential oils on infants . If the diffusion of Essential Oils for babies helps to improve their sleep, relieve ailments such as fever outbreaks , diarrhea, and other problems, it is generally preferable to use them with a vegetable oil which allows better dilution .
