Remember the basic safety guidelines for using essential oils with children:

1. Herbs and hydrosols are preferable for children under 2 rather than essential oils.
2. If you do use essential oils for children under two, diffusion is preferable to topical use.
3. When you apply essential oils topically to any child, be sure to dilute well, generally no more than 1 drop of essential oil per 4 teaspoons of carrier oil.
