AROMATHERAPY BENEFITS

Lavender and Chamomile (Roman) are the most valuable oils for children. They are both, calming, soothing and sedating and are valuable for children who may be a little run down, not sleeping, over excited or have had episodes of tears and tantrums. These oils are also great for a tired and exhausted mum who is in need of rest and a good night's sleep!!

Mandarin is a very safe gentle oil for children and is known as "The Children's Remedy". It is great for children's tummy upsets including colic and hiccoughs. Again, a great oil for mum to use too and not just for tummy upsets but as a good skin treatment because of its known capabilities of preventing stretch marks when used from the 4th month of pregnancy. Another good oil to use on children with tummy upsets is Spearmint oil - a safer, more gentle alternative to Peppermint.

Eucalyptus,Tea Tree, and Thyme are powerful anti viral and antiseptic oils and are valuable first aid oils for Colds, Flu and other infectious diseases.

For those annoying coughs, Benzoin and Frankincense are soothing to the respiratory tract and are very warming comforting oils, useful in the convalescence stage of illness. Benzoin is a rich sticky oil but has a wonderful vanilla like aroma.

Frankincense is a wonderful oil for Mum to use when relaxation is needed or when states of anxiety arise.

For skin complaints and those minor cuts and grazes that affect almost every child that loves to play, Lavender and Tea Tree can be used to promote the healing of the abrasion and be an antiseptic. Excellent also for insect bites and stings!!!

Insects and flying bugs can be a real nuisance and so can the thought of applying all those chemical based insect repellants. Essential oils of Geranium, Lemon, Citronella and Cedarwood are brilliant blended together as a spray and applied as and when required for the whole family.



HOW TO USE OUR SPRAYS

So What Is a Aromatherapy Spray?

Our Sprays are a fun, effective, tangible object that your child can use as a fun tool, and a comforting aid. Children sometimes struggle to control their emotions - our sprays can help them to gain the control that they need. 
Our bottles contain floral water and organic essential oils, diluted to a safe dose for children & babies.  This is well known and widely used by aromatherapists.  It is totally natural, wonderfully fragrant, and perfectly safe for children to use.  Each different Spray contains an appropriate floral water to help with the related emotions.

We, with our children encounter tricky times along the parenting path of bedtimes and interrupted sleep, tantrums, hospital visits, bullying as well as all those new, different emotions including sadness, irritability, shyness, anger, fear, lack of confidence, self doubt, the list goes on!!
Naturally we want our children to be happy, calm, well rested and confident. We all use various parenting tools and techniques of teddy bears, dummies, comfort blankets, hugs and kisses, verbal reassurance and now you can use our sprays! They are a great parenting tool to use alongside positive affirmation.

What ages are the sprays for?

Each range is formulated for a different age group, with their own different challenges and situations and are presented specially to appeal to your child. Our Be Gone Range is suitable for children over 36 months of age. Our Nursery Range is suitable for babies over 3 months of age and our Mummy range is for adults only!

Where do I Spray?

Although all our products are safe to use practically anywhere, the label shows the best way to utilise the product. On their clothing, linen, hair, or around their room, whatever works for your child. Some of our products are specifically designed for the skin (such as bugs be gone & germs be gone).

Floral water is a safe and natural product, widely used for many, many years.  It is gentle and suitable for children and will not harm their skin. Obviously spraying directly into the eyes should be avoided, as should ingesting.  Very young children should be supervised - this product is not a toy, sensible care is needed.


How long will my Spray last?
If stored in a dry, cool dark place will last for at least 6 months.
