Does it feel like your kids are always sick? Or your threenager is constantly pressing every.single.one.of.your.buttons?!
I sit here writing this in early winter and my kids have already had 4 or 5 different sicknesses between all four of them since the seasons changed. And my three year old is probably off throwing something or crumpling one of his siblings prized drawing.
I get it.
As a mom of four I am no stranger to sniffles and tummy aches and boo-boos. I have had my fair share of experience with more serious and ongoing illnesses. And let’s not forget about the emotional sides of our kids because HELLO 3 year olds!
The good news is I have something that can help! With both the physical and emotional facets of raising kids.
Yes! There is hope 🙃🤣
My journey with essential oils began 5 years ago when I purchased a starter kit from my mom and cracked the seal on my first bottle. My story isn’t a quick or wholehearted plunge into being an oily mama but rather a kind of skeptical toe-dipping of sorts that has grown over the years as I have learned more and more about natural ways to support my kids health and experienced the first hand effects of many different oils.
One story that always sticks out to me happened when my oldest son was maybe 2 years old. He came into our room in the middle of the night crying and complaining of sore ears. Ear aches are obviously so painful and, to be honest, kind of hard to know how to treat it without just popping Tylenol which may take the pain away momentarily but doesn’t necessarily support the body in dealing with the problem.. We tried a few different things to make him comfortable but he kept waking up in tears from the pain. I finally made the trip downstairs to look up what essential oil could support an earache (in my beloved copy of The Essential Life) and discovered that helichrysum should do the trick. We applied it around his ears and sure enough he was able to fall asleep and stay asleep and woke up in the morning with no more ear pain.
That is just one of many different times we have been rescued by an essential oil. I can tell you stories of DigestZen helping a baby with a sore tummy calm down or Brave giving another kid the confidence to face a difficult appointment with minimal tears. We, as a family, have had so many positive experiences using essential oils in many, many different situations.
Here’s the thing, I want my experience to be your experience. I want you to feel confident that you know what to do (or where to look) when your kid comes down with something. The good news is IT CAN and YOU WILL.
I created a FREE guide to help you take your first steps into using essential oils with your kids. I know when it comes to our babies we want to do what’s very best for them and not put them in harm’s way. The world of essential oils can seem so intimidating because it feels like there is just so much to know so I wanted to give you a starting point.
Inside A Beginners Guide to Using Essential Oils With Your Kids you will find information on safety, the importance of choosing pure essential oils, practical ways to use oils in your family’s daily routines and recipes for some of the basics things you will use every day. AND if you haven’t already purchased oils I will help you get started.
This is my way of taking your hand as you take your first steps down this wonderful road where you take charge of your family’s health. Essential oils have empowered my mothering and the way I take care of my kids’ health and wellbeing and I want to help you feel the same way.
There is nothing like being faced with a problem and having the answer at the tips of your fingers.
