Kid Safe "Thieves" Blend

Picture
Hello cold and flu season! Is it me or does it seem like it is back with vengeance this year?? I am certain we can use all the help we can get to try to avoid or at least shorten the duration of sickness.
 
If you are like me you may tend to reach for natural remedies first before resorting to medications and one of my favorite things is to use essential oils. I absolutely LOVE the smell and cinnamon so a “thieves” blend is one of my go tos for our diffusers during cold and flu season.
 
However, after having our daughter as I researched more I realized that certain essential oils may be unsafe for children less than six years of age. The traditional adult blend typically contains eucalyptus and rosemary essential oils that may have high amounts of cineole which can slow down breathing and create nervous system issues in young children. This led me to creating my own kid safe blend which we now prefer to use throughout our home.
 
Here is the recipe:
 
  • 25 drops of Orange Essential Oil
  • 20 drops Cinnamon Leaf (or bark) Essential Oil
  • 15 drops Clove Bud Essential Oil
  • 15-20 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 10 Drops Cypress (spruce or pine can work here also) Essential Oil
 
It is also important to make sure you are choosing high quality essential oils. Our favorite place to get our oils from is The Wellness Company they are tested 10x for purity and with an amazing price point!!

    Tamara Schmidt

    ​My Name is Tamara Schmidt. I live with my husband, my beautiful daughter and our two dogs in Edmonton, Alberta. I am a classically trained pianist with over 12 years of teaching experience. I have a diploma in Occupational Therapy Assisting through Grant MacEwan University and prior to having my daughter I worked in pediatrics at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital on a psychiatric unit and in their school rehabilitation program coordinating art programs and aiding the children with their fine and gross motor skills. After having my daughter I began working at Montessori Preschool where I created and currently teach their music program.
    Along with my love of music I love creating!! From crafts to soaps to clothing...if I can make it myself I will!!
    My daughter and I love spending our time painting, drawing, or making crafts out of our recyclables or things we find outside. We also love spending time outdoors enjoying what mother nature has to offer. 
    My perfect day would include time with my family (preferably doing something active outdoors) an opportunity to play the piano and or sing, and a chance to create something with my hands.
