Aromatherapy for the Healthy Child

Wonderful first-aid & well-being info

I just finished this book, and really loved it. I am the mother of a 12 month old, and my family is interested more and more in the connection between our health and our environment. This has led to a variety of interests, including attachment parenting, plant-based diets, juicing, and naturopathic remedies (as supplements to allopathic medicine). This was my first primer on first aid for our family, and it was a fascinating read, informative & empowering. Wormwood goes into great depth describing common childhood illnesses/conditions (from circumcision to measles), possible remedies, and takes great care to outline age-appropriate care and dosage. She doesn't make any miraculous claims about the impact EOs can have and includes a "when to get help" section after every ailment. She also tells you in handy charts appropriate general use oils by age, carrier oil characteristics, etc. there is also an indispensable section on a basic first aid kit - the 12 best EOs to have on hand and some basic recipes for antiseptic spray, etc., you can make ahead and have in hand. If your family is interested in naturally enhancing and supporting your health with essential oils, this is DEFINITELY a great buy!
