It is advisable to always consult with a pediatrician or trusted medical professional when addressing your baby’s health concerns. Essential oils are a useful non-toxic and cost effective answer in supporting the health and well-being of little ones. 

Users should remain aware of allergies, start small and dilute the selected therapeutic grade essential oil with one drop per two (2) milliliter (ml) of carrier oil. The best carrier oils to use on babies are Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil.
