 In this post I am going to cover the following:
Using essential oils with kidsThere is a lot of controversy around whether or not we can use essential oils with kids…. yes, essential oils are safe to use on children; however, there are a few extra precautions to take when it comes to using essential oils on your little ones. As with anything you would give your child—food, medicine, treatments, topical products, etc.—the greatest way to safely use essential oils on or around your children is to educate yourself as a parent.
Children have more delicate and sensitive skin than adults, so it is always necessary to dilute essential oils before applying them topically on your kids. The most important rule for kids when it comes to using essential oils is to only do so with the help and supervision of an adult. Keep essential oils out of reach of your children so they cannot use them unsupervised. Essential oils can be safely be used on or around children, and just like anything you would use with your family—topical products, hygienic products, cleaning products, etc.—special caution should be used when applying oils to children.
Best places to apply essential oils on kids:• Bottoms of the feet • Along the spine • Pulse points • Abdomen dōTerra Kids CollectionIf you are just starting out with essential oils or find diy projects such as blending your own roll-on mixes too daunting, then I highly recommend the Kids Collection which is a unique collection of essential oils blends formulated with the little ones in mind.  The doTERRA Kids Collection is the complete and ready-made “whole body” essential oil toolbox designed to empower caregivers to confidently care for the health and wellness of little ones. Formulated specifically for developing minds, bodies, and emotions, these essential oil blends feature unique combinations therapeutically balanced to provide powerful benefits while being gentle on delicate skin.

Each of these kid-friendly blends is formulated with children in mind—their fragrance preferences, emotional needs, and most common health complaints. Color-coded labels and roll-on tops make application easy and fun. And while they are created with children in mind, don’t be surprised if you fall in love with a few of these blends yourself. With adult help, your child can learn to safely apply these essential oil blends to their tummy, hands, head, and heart. As your children grow up using these oils, they can learn to identify their feelings and solve everyday complaints for lifelong success and happiness.
