Product description: An indispensable product-always keep a bottle handy! Instead of exposing your child to potentially damaging decongestants, use California Baby® Colds & Flu™ Essential Oil Blend when symptoms such as simple congestion and stuffiness appear. California Baby®'s sophisticated blends work to provoke a therapeutic response and speed healing and are so versatile-use for massage, bath, diffuser, humidifier...
If you suspect that your child's cold is more than simple congestion and stuffiness, call your pediatrician.
Mom-to-Mom Tip:
Alternate between California Baby® Colds & Flu™, Calming™ (Lavender), and Resistance Builder™ for an attack on all fronts! Spritz! Our Calming™ Aromatherapy Spritzer contains antibacterial properties and also helps to stimulate white blood cell production. Spray often and your environment will be mellow and healthy.
Don't be worried about "bugging" your pediatrician when you feel that your child's sickness may be more than a normal cold or flu. Make sure you observe your child closely so you can provide as many details as possible, present the information clearly--write it down if needed.
A note from Jessica, the developer of California Baby®: Welcome to the world of aromatherapy! I use essential oils with my children almost daily, starting at age 6 months, I have noticed that they get sick less often and recover from illnesses faster. All California Baby® blends are developed in consultation with an aromatherapist; we use oils that are known for their safety and efficacy. If you're new to aromatherapy, with a little practice you will find that essential oils are versatile, easy to use, and indispensable! I feel that by using aromatherapy with your children, their sense of smell will remain potent into adulthood. Our pure, aromatherapy quality essential oils do not contain synthetic additives; they are tested for purity and guaranteed pesticide free.
For Grownups:
- Over-the-counter decongestants can elevate blood pressure and cause drowsiness. Our Colds & Flu™ Blend is an excellent alternative to help relieve congestion naturally without the side effects associated with traditional cold medications.
Benefits & Features:
- Contains organic and sustainably grown ingredients
How Many Drops?
- 6 mos. to 1 year: 3-4 drops
- 1 year to adult: 4-10 drops
How to use?
- A Bath without Bubbles: Drop into a bath of warm water, swirl the oils through with your hand to mix. May be used daily.
- In Combination with California Baby® Bubble Baths: Add bath drops after desired bubble level has been reached; add drops and swirl through the water with your hand to mix.
- Our Wall Diffuser: Drop 10-20 drops, depending on the size of the room and the desired intensity, directly onto the pad. Place the pad with the oil side down so that it comes into contact with the ceramic plate; this will diffuse the oils evenly and prevent the pad from becoming soggy. Plug into an electrical outlet; the moderate heat that is produced will diffuse the oils. For best results, use one pad exclusively for each blend; change the pad when it ceases to dry out completely between uses.
- Massage: Add 75 drops into our Super Sensitive™ no fragrance massage/carrier oil. Shake to disperse. Refresh as necessary. You can also use our Moisturizing Cream as a carrier; scoop a dollop into the palm of your hand, create an indent with your finger in the center (think mashed potatoes and gravy), drop 2-3 drops into the center; mix with your finger and then rub your hands together vigorously to emulsify, apply. This method works especially well if you are out of a carrier oil, or if you want to add an essential oil to your moisturizer. For example, if you or your child wake up feeling congested add a couple of Colds & Flu™ essential oil drops to our cream rub onto neck and chest, give a gentle swipe under the nose and you're ready to go!
- Vaporizer: Works best with a cold mist unit. Add oils once water level has been reached. Start with 5-10 drops; adjust depending on the size of the water container and your scent tolerance. Essential oils will degrade plastic; avoid dropping directly on any plastic parts or with a unit where the water and oils travel through to create the mist. Colds & Flu™ is especially helpful when congestion is present. Calming Bedtime™ at bedtime. Overtired & Cranky™ mid-afternoon or play time. Bathroom Freshener™ to deodorize and revitalize stale air.
Warnings: Do not take orally. Keep away from the eyes. Not for direct use on skin, unless specified otherwise; if using on skin for massage, blend into a carrier oil and mix well before applying.
Common Sense Caution: Intended for external use only. If any adverse reaction, discontinue use and contact physician immediately.
