Aromatherapy and Children

Children can certainly use essential oils but care must be practiced, although there are many safe ones. Use one-third to one-half the adult dose, or a 1-percent dilution (five or six drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil), and don’t forget that citruses may irritate the skin. Recipes are given for tummy oil and a dilly pillow for children to use at night.

Wisdom tells us that mothers know best, but in a intricate and chemical world it seems that mothers know less and less and must continually research about chemicals put into foods, water, personal care products, etc.

The urinary system, consisting of the kidneys and bladder, regulates the body’s water content and salt balance, eliminates waste and is involved in regulating blood pressure. The kidneys determine exactly what will be eliminated and what will be recycled. This article also discusses kidney stones and bladder infections along with effective natural remedies.

The circulatory system pumps blood to every part of the body. This system includes the heart and blood vessels, along with the lymphatic system, which gives nutrients and passes cellular fluid through the system, cleansing the body of waste products.

This article presents some very good ways to use aromatherapy for heart and circulation issues.

Big Pharma would have us believe that supplements are a waste of money. In fact, their attack on supplements is highly suspect when it comes to caring about people’s health. Is the supplement industry going down? Recent stories about Echinacea, Saw Palmetto, Vitamin E, D and Calcium, St. John’s Wort, and now Glucosamine and Chondroitin are lacking in the medicinal proof that numerous studies and millions of consumers and healthcare providers previously found they provided. Possible Big Pharma wants us to be sick? Judge for yourself.
