Aromatherapy is an ancient practice reputed to be safe and effective for both adults and children. It can address various pediatric concerns such as anxiety, sadness, and fatigue. The National Institutes of Health highlight the substantial investment Americans make in this alternative therapy. However, using aromatherapy in children necessitates caution, including sourcing pure essential oils, understanding appropriate dosages, and consulting with a pediatrician. Parents are encouraged to learn which oils are beneficial and how to use them safely, such as through diffusers or inhalers, while also being aware of their child's specific needs.
When using aromatherapy with children, it can be a safe and effective complementary intervention for common pediatric concerns, requiring specific management and pediatric consultation.
Choose essential oils that are pure and have been studied for safety in children over three, such as lavender and peppermint, ensuring proper dosages.
