Organic Oils for Baby

Do you want to buy the very highest in quality when it comes essential oil products for your baby? If so then you might want to check out the high end oils at Erbavia. This is a site that is known for her its luscious concoctions. In fact, sometimes I am thinking that this stuff made out of high quality oils is too good to the kid. This line of oils smells so good that sometimes I have worn it as my perfume when I go out to a cocktail party.

Most of the oils made by this company are very practical. For instance they have a cradle cap oil that can be rubbed on your baby's scalp. It is a mild concoction of organic geranium, lemon eucalyptus and rosemary oil that smells very pleasant. It retails for about fifteen dollars per four-ounce bottle. It's purpose is to keep the soft spot on your baby's head as pliant and healthy as possible. Be careful when rubbing the oils on the baby's head though. You don't want to press to hard or massage them in too ardently of course. That is just not such a hot idea.

Another type of organic oil that is on this eco-friendly site is their brand of general baby massage oil. This is a relaxing blend of roman chamomile and mandarin oils as well as rosemary extract. It also retails for about fifteen dollars. Roman chamolile is very relaxing for both adults and children and I like to have it on while I am nursing my newborn. Roman chamomile is also very mild and it has qualities such as curing headaches and upset stomachs. The mandarin scent is supposed to be uplifting and joyous. All of the orange scents are a natural antidepressant, which is why so many people advise spraying it into children's nurseries.

One thing you should be careful of us is allergic reactions if you do decide to use aromatherapy or essential organic oils on your baby. Cease use immediately at the slightest sign of an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction to these types of oils could include symptoms such as troubled breathing, sneezing, coughing, and hives breaking out on your baby's skin or your baby's eyes watering. You should also only use oils that are diluted in plenty of oil as raw essences could burn baby's skin.

What I am saying is that you should leave the mixing of raw oils to the professionals. Raw essential oils can even be toxic to a baby. Respected companies like Erbavia make sure that the oils are generously diluted in just the right amount of carrier oils.

You should also use oil that are specifically mixed up for babies as the essential oils used in products for adults just tend to have a higher amount of the oil in it. This could burn baby's sensitive skin.

Bath Blossoms

Bath blossoms have been around a while and basically they are flower petals that are put in a giant muslin bag, like an oversized tea bag. They are used to perfume water and also make it more healing and therapeutic.

The idea of bathing in blossoms in order to deodorize or heal oneself is as old as mankind. Cleopatra had rose petals sprinkled in her bath along with milk. The Romans also sprinkled petals in their bath. The Victorians scented their bath water with all kinds of herbs and blossoms and also the peels of fruit.

I have always loved bathing in petals when I am at an expensive spa and I was pleased to find out that a very innovative company is now putting out flower petals.

Angel Baby Bath Blossoms is it when it comes to finding the ultimate when it comes to buy a cleansing yet aromatic treat for you and your baby. This is an actual bath in a packet that contains flower blossoms and you can find it at a company online called Earth Mama Angel Baby.

This is an organic herbal blend that is meant to calm down and comfort upset infant. It is made with the petals of calendula, chamolile, rosebuds and lavender as well as with organic lemon balm and organic oatmeal. Both chamolile and lavender are herbs that are known for soothing nervous tummies and settling down the nervous system. Babies love the scent and so do moms and some babies will play with any loose petals in the bath water or the muslin bag.

In addition — organic oatmeal would be very relaxing and soothing to the skin. If your baby has diaper rash or eczema the oatmeal would help cool down the inflammation that might b causing great discomfort.

Of course this indulgence is not just for babies. Moms will really enjoy taking a bath in these blossoms, which are packaged in a muslin bag. The idea is that you can or loop it so it is under the bathtub faucet and fill yourself a bath. If your child is very young you can dip the muslin bag full of petals in a bath. Be sure to always test the water when you put this type of bag into a baby's bath.

It is probably not a good idea to just pick petals out of your garden and throw them in a baby bath unless you are 100% sure that they are organic and that there is no pesticide on them. However even if the flowers are organic they could have bugs or dirt on them that might have viruses or other things that are not good for baby on them. That is why when it comes to something like blossoms for the bath I do recommend buying them from a reputable company like Earth Mama, which specializes, in organic products for babies.
