Best aromatherapy methods?!
Question:
Best aromatherapy methods?
I need something to put in my kids room that will last strong all night long for their congestion and coughing from the cold and flu. I was using Sudacare vapor plugs but they are not as natural or beneficial as pure aromatherapy oils would be. There are so many different methods. I dont want to spend more than maybe 50 dollars on a device. I cant see that the tea light burners would work well enought or long enough and i dont want to leave a candle unattended at night. I want to be able to leave it on..have it work all night without starting a fire. What method would be best -The room is small - probly 12' by 14'.
What oils do you use for cold and flu? Eucalyptus and Rosemary i read are good.
links would be great.
Thanks.
Answers:
Safest way to vaporise essential oils, especially in a kid's room, is in an electric vaporiser - make sure you get one which specifies it does not need water. Then add a few drops of oil.(Not too much, even with a cold kids have more sensitive noses than adults.) They can be a bit pricy but you aren't buying candles and they use very little electricity.
Best oils for kids colds are eucalyptus, lavender and rosemary.
Good luck!
