The use of Essential Oils, and herbs, are wonderful companions to small children and young adults.

Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to comfort and heal, and there is a long history, particularly in Europe, of their medicinal use.  The emotional and physiological effects of essential oils go beyond personal association.  Each of the oils, extracted from a specific herb, plant or flower, has its own unique healing qualities.  These highly concentrated oils can be absorbed into the body through the skin or through the olfactory bulb in the nose.  This is why diffusing of essential oils into the air makes such good sense.  To learn about how this effects a healing process you may wish to read this article on Mood & Brain Chemistry or refer to The Essential Oil Desk Reference, which does an excellent job on documenting how these procedures do in fact work.

A HeavenScent Safety Issue regarding the use of Clove Essential Oil on children:

Clove Oil is very good to have on hand for a toothache, actually the blend of Panaway is superior.  However, Clove Essential Oil is strong for a child's mouth - - - and if you must use it for a child's toothache dilute just one drop to 1/2 ounce of oil (virgin olive, coconut oil or our V-6 Mixing Oil).
Test it on your own gums first, keeping in mind that a child's gums are much more sensitive.  You should barely feel it. Massage gently into the gum area.  It can be comforting to a teething baby.  It will numb the area and help relieve the inflammation.  Never let the child do it and always use it highly diluted.

In Rosemary Gladstar’s book, Herbal Remedies for Children’s Health, she highly recommends Hyland Homeopathic Pharmacy teething tablets, or their teething formula.  NOTE:  Heavenscent Oils has used homeopathy with great success and has found it to be a great companion to our essential oils, we highly recommend this alternative therapy also.
