Easing Your Child to Sleep

For your child suffering from a cold, getting them to sleep can be a struggle. To help ease some of their discomfort try placing a few drops of an essential oil (such as lavender or sweet orange) on a handkerchief and tie near your child’s bed – but not close for them to reach, as oils ingested in high doses can be toxic.

For children older then 6 months and suffering from a bad cough and congestion try a drop or two of eucalyptus oil into olive oil and gently rub onto their chest and back.
