If you have a baby or are pregnant, I am sure you have heard of the benefits of aromatherpy for your baby. Massage is a wonderful way for new parents to create a bond with their baby. Below, I have listed some helpful information to help you begin to give your baby a massage, of couse, you should consult your doctor before using these popular tecniques. And please don't use oils to treat medical conditions.
Essential oils are to be used in low diluions for aromamassages as well as baths.
The proper dilutions are listed below. Carrier oils, which are sometimes refered to as base or fixed oils should always be used when you use essential oils on your baby. Essential oils are highly concentrated in their pure state, and they should NOT be used undiluted directly on the skin. The carrier oil chosen should be cold pressed. Do not use oils such as mineral oil, commerical baby oil, or vegtable oil.
