Eteriska oljor med bebisar & barn

Denna video handlar om hur vi kan använda eteriska oljor med bebisar & barn! Redan under graviditeten använde jag oljor att massera magen med och sedan när Felicia kom, masserade jag henne med samma underbara olja (Gentle Baby). Några andra av mina favoriter med henne är Lavendel (sömn) och DiGize (matsmältning). Skriven info från videon finns nedan.

How to use essential oils with babies and kids:

How to safely apply essential oils to babies and kids

• For babies: diffusing in an ultrasonic diffuser for 15-30 minutes at a time, and applying to the soles of feet.

• Dilute if applying topically based on age:

  • 0-1 years – 8:1 carrier oil to essential oil ratio

  • 2-6 years – 3:1 carrier oil to essential oil ratio

  • 7-11 years – 1:1 carrier oil to essential oil ratio

  • 12+ years – dilute as labelled on the bottle

Supporting everyone’s health during change of seasons

• Thieves blend is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health, perfect to keep you healthy during the winter and change of seasons.

• When Thieves is diffused it kills 99% of airborne bacteria, which is why it’s also used in the dental care range including toothpastes, mouthwash and mints etc, and in the cleaning range including cleaner, handwash, soap, dish soap, laundry soap and hand sanitizer etc. It’s also a key oil in the Inner Defense supplement which is used for immune support (for adults)

• How: diffuse, dilute and apply to chest/back, soles of feet.

Easy breathing

• RC blend – contains 3 types of eucalyptus, it’s a breath of fresh air! Use this like a vapour rub (but doesn’t contain the nasty petrochemicals and nanoparticles found in petroleum jelly)

• How: diffuse, Epsom salt bath, dilute and apply to chest/back.

Happy tummies

• DiGize blend has key oils including ginger, tarragon, fennel, peppermint which support gastrointestinal comfort and normal digestion.

• Peppermint is also great to keep tummies happy, but not advised to use as a single oil on babies that are younger than 18 months.

• A great blend to massage into baby’s tummy when they arch their back and pull their knees up or are starting on solid foods, or kids when they’re trying new foods or discover some intolerances.

• How: dilute and apply on tummy massaging in a clockwise direction to follow the digestive system.

Calm and sleepy

• Gentle Baby blend, Lavender, Frankincense, Peace & Calming blend are all great to keep baby (and parents!) calm, and create a beautiful relaxed atmosphere especially before going to sleep.

• How: diffuse, dilute in bath, dilute and massage body.

Healthy skin

• Lavender, Frankincense, Gentle Baby blend, Melrose blend (this contains Melaleuca which is also known as Tea Tree which is a very cleansing oil) are all amazing to support healthy skin - including bums!

• Tender Tush is an ointment where all the mixing has been done for you using a variety of carrier oils and essential oils to sooth the skin. This is INCREDIBLE and love using this on bums and anywhere on the body that needs extra soothing (even for adults).

• Seedlings baby range is a range of pre-made products designed especially for babies free of any dangerous chemicals and infused with nourishing and calming essential oils. It includes a baby wash, shampoo, lotion, wipes, baby oil, a calming linen spray and a soothing diaper cream.

Teething time

• Thieves blend (Clove is the key oil in this blend to support teething), Copaiba, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Helichrysum are all soothing to support teething time.

• Did you know the ear lobes are actually a reflexology point? It makes sense why babies instinctively seem to pull their ears around teething time!

• How: dilute (especially Thieves) and rub along jawline, and also massage around the ear and press on the acupressure point on ear lobe.

I denna video delar Emmely med sig om hennes topp 5 sätt att använda oljorna på i vardagen; Sömn/Känslomässigt välmående/Fokus/Energi och Immunförsvar, det är områden vi alla önskar fungerar väl, eller hur! Av någon anledning tappar jag helt bort ordet årstider och översätter change of seasons med säsongsförändring, det är nog bara ett av orden jag tappar bort i den engelsk/svenska diskussionen=). Förhoppningsvis framgår vad vi båda menar ändå..!

Här kommer skriven information ifall ni önskar det:

Top 5 everyday uses:

Or Tranquil roll-on is a pre-made and pre-diluted blend that contains Lavender, Cedarwood and Roman Chamomile to support feeling ‘tranquil’.

Eteriska Oljor - 3 användningssätt

Under junimånad kör vi tema eteriska oljor här på bloggen! Jag och Emmely har skapat en informationsrik videoserie som förhoppningsvis kommer att vara till nytta för er. I varje fall lärde jag mig en hel del nytt!

I detta avsnittet pratar vi om oljornas 3 användningssätt, jag ber om ursäkt i förväg för min "svengelska", tanken var att det skulle underlätta för er att jag översatte och förtydligade vissa delar, men i efterhand känns det nästan som jag pratar ett helt nytt språk istället haha! Nedan finns en kort sammanfattning av det vi tar upp i videon.

3 ways to use essential oils:

• Aromatically – inhaling essential oils is great to uplift the spirit and reaches your limbic system (emotional part of brain) in 3 seconds!

  • Rub 1-3 drops between the palms of you hands, rub, place over nose and inhale.

  • Add 6-12 drops into an ultrasonic diffuser with oils and water.

• Topically – many essential oils are beneficial to use directly on the skin and enter bloodstream in under 30 seconds.

  • Place 1-3 drops directly on the desired area and massage in back of neck, temples, chest, stomach, back, legs. Follow the label’s dilution instructions as some can be applied neat (undiluted) or diluted with carrier oil such as coconut oil, jojoba, avocado, almond etc.

  • Add 1-3 drops in some Epsom salt or bath gel and add into a bath.

  • Soles of feet – great for babies or for ‘hot’ oils, and is a super-quick absorption

  • Note: essential oils are very potent and may be irritating to the skin. If irritation occurs apply a carrier oil to the area to dilute. Citrus-based oils and blends may cause temporary photosensitivity.

• Internally – ‘Plus’ essential oil food supplements

  • Each country is a little different, in Sweden (and Europe) there is a ‘Plus’ line of essential oils which are for culinary use (i.e. food and drinks) and dietary use (i.e. use in a capsule for their supportive properties). In the US they have a ‘Vitality’ range.

  • Place several drops of your chosen oil/s into a gelatin/vegetable capsule and swallow with water.

    • Peppermint supports gastrointestinal comfort and normal digestion

    • Thieves is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.

  • Add 1-2 drops to glass of water, NingXia Red, juice, honey, nut-milk.

  • Add 1-2 drops (to taste) to meals when cooking, or in drinks.
