Calm the Kids at Bedtime

The Aromatherapy for Health blog just posted an essential oil blend to help calm children at bedtime.Â This aromatherapy recipe is meant for diffusion, which is a method of releasing scents into the air.

Since it is a recipe for children, I want to point out that it is a good idea to use caution and make sure the kids don’t intake any of the oils – especially since many children are quite allergic to chamomile.
