Holistic Aromatherapy for Children Part 2
(To review Part 1 of this series visit http://www.aromalchemy.com/education/issue62.html)
Aromatherapy is an enjoyable and beneficial alternative therapy for our young ones. But aromatherapy heals more than just common childhood ailments. It also has a great impact on the emotional and mental issues children face on a daily basis.
Children have their own ways of dealing with stress and internal conflict. Some internalize their emotions and attempt to hide their thoughts and feelings. Others may become overly expressive or abnormally active. Many children simply don't know how to process their complex feelings. Unlike adults children do not have the skills and the maturity to find healthy outlets for their emotions.
Stresses in a child's family school and social settings can contribute to any number of emotional issues including guilt loneliness hyperactivity and neediness. Whatever situation your children may be facing it is most important to emphasize communication or share your concerns with a child therapist. I also encourage you to use one of the aromatic blends below to safely enhance the work of any therapy.
In a 10ml bottle pour the essential oils and then add any organic vegetable oil to fill (jojoba sweet almond grapeseed etc.)
