be used for the treatment of illnesses such as emotional as well
as physical challenges. Today you can still find people that do
not believe in the use of aromatherapy but they are diminishing
in numbers. People today are well educated and know that the
usage of aromatherapy products can have even extreme effect when
used for treatment purposes. Normally we find that aromatherapy
is used when treating adults but as with most other treatments
it can be used for children and babies as well. The great thing
about aromatherapy is that it is a healthy way of treatment
compared to the chemical treatments offered by the medicine
industry.
As well as with all other treatment types used for adults, you
need to keep in mind that at child is not as big a human as an
adult and therefore you will need to correct to dose used. You
wouldn't not want to give your child an overdose even with the
usage of the aromatherapy oils that are normally safe to use.
Secondly it is always advised when using "adult products" and
"adult treatments" on babies, that you consult with a
professional aroma therapist to avoid causing any harm.
The good thing about the use of aromatherapy for babies is that
you can treat them safely and will not have to pump medicine
into their tiny bodies to relief them of illness symptoms. You
will be doing your child a huge favor as it has been proven many
times that extensive use of medicine can cause other diseases
later in life.
Will Any Type of Aromatherapy Work?
When you first start out buying aromatherapy oils and essential
oils with various scents, there are a few basic things that you
will need to be aware of and to pay attention to. First of all
it is crucially important that you go for the essential natural
oils and not the (much cheaper) synthetic oils. Unfortunately
most people have not done their homework and might think that as
long as it is called aromatherapy oil, it must all be the same.
Fact is that is very far from the truth.
The difference between using natural essential aromatherapy
oils and synthetic ones are that the natural one is plant based.
It is made from extracts from herbs and plants while the
synthetic ones (as the name clearly states) are man or machine
made and often comes from different types of chemicals that are
mixed together.
Some synthetic oils have been the cause of skin irritations and
some have actually been banned from the market. Not that you are
in a situation where you are thinking of using oils to treat
your child or even your baby, is would an absolute catastrophe
if you by doing so caused skin irritations because you wanted to
save those extra few dollars. I you think of it in another way
you should ask yourself the question: "What is my child's health
worth to me?" Will I risk it to save a few dollars? Hopefully
your answer to that question is NO.
To find essential oils you need to start with the list of
ingredients. Does the list look like it is made up of natural
ingredients such as herbs or does it seem synthetic? Secondly
the way the oils are packed will often tell you whether it is
quality or not. Lousy packing is often the same as lousy
quality. Finally the price will often give away the natural
essential oils. It will be sold at a far higher price than the
synthetic ones but there is also no comparability in effects at
all.
When you have found what you are looking for there is only the
choice of scent and the desired effect. I suggest that you talk
to the person selling you the oils and tell them that it is for
your baby and that the symptoms you want it to work for is so
and so. That will provide you with the best possible start to
use aromatherapy as a way of treatment.
