Wild Orange Essentail Oil
This bright, uplifting oil can help to reduce stress and anxiety. It’s also said to inspire creativity and imagination.
Lemon Essential Oil
Lemon essential oil, like other citrus oils, is energizing and brightening. This zesty oil can help lift energy and mood. Great for a post-nap wakeup call for tiny sleepyheads. We recommend adding 3-5 drops to the diffuser for a nice little lift.
Grapefruit Essential Oil
Grapefruit essential oil has fresh citrus notes that soothe tantrums and relieve stress by promoting brightness and positivity. The fresh citrusy scent is uplifting and sweet, helping to reduce tension and nervous energy. Ideal for fractious toddlers!
Essential Oil Do’s & Don’ts
While essential oils are a wonderful tool for wellbeing, it’s important to use them properly. Oils should never be used topically (on the skin) unless diluted with a carrier oil or cream and NEVER on babies under 3 months because their skin is so permeable.
Don’t use camphorated oils when your little one has a cold as they can cause irritation. The Himalayan salt crystals and the moisture diffused into the air by the ClevaPure Salt Lamp will help to relieve congestion.
Avoid strong-smelling oils around babies and toddlers such as Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clove, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Fennel, Rosemary.
