Summer is here! Children are excited to be out of school, and parents are excited for the nicer weather! There are a lot of activities that children will be doing all summer, and they will still keep you on your toes.

Essential oils are great for the summertime. Children are outside all the time it seems, and always come running inside with scraped knees and the like from playing. Having essential oils nearby can be a very good idea. Here are our favorite kid-friendly essential oils:

German Chamomile: Add a few drops of this oil to your child’s night time bath. The oil promotes restful sleep. Be sure to start off small with the oil when adding it to the bath because too much might irritate children’s skin.

Peppermint: This oil promotes good digestion. It can also be handy for children with headaches. Peppermint is meant to only be used on children older than 30 months.

Lavender: A great essential oil, lavender works in many different ways. Parents enjoy its versatility and children love the smell. Lavender does great healing burns, cuts, and stings, as well as many other things.

Eucalyptus: Colds happen all year round, not just during the winter. Protect your children by using Eucalyptus oil. It works as an immune-stimulant, and works as a great decongestant for children who already have colds.

Lemon: This citrus oil works great in a room diffuser. It can help bodies fight off infections. The smell is delicious, and doubles as an air freshener. Never apply this oil to your skin directly as it can irritate it.

Melaleuca oil: Another all-purpose essential oil, Melaleuca oil is great for children. It heals cuts and scrapes, and reduces pain and infection. It can even be combined with other oils to work as a cleaner for your home if you need children to do some chores this summer.
