5 Inessential oils every parent doesn't need
Cold and flu season is fast approaching, and many mamas are wondering how to keep their littles healthy. If that sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place! In my seven years as a Platinum Distributor at GaiaLife, I’ve learned that oils have a special power. Give any healthy child some essential oils, and they’ll be healthy in no time. Before you turn to Big Pharma this winter, I’d like to share my alternative medicine hacks. Without further ado, here are the top 5 inessential oils that mamas are saying they can live without!
Number 1: Peppermint Oil. When combined with 810 hours of sleep, this oil will give you and your kids enough energy to last the whole day. If you have school aged children, it’ll help them focus better in class (unless they have ADHD, in which case blue meth is your only option).
Number 2: Jojoba Oil. This oil is a natural moisturizer, replenishing the skin barrier and hydrating your pores. It even eliminates wrinkles in people ages 0-12. For older mamas, I recommend using it in conjunction with other anti aging products like a shovel or a gravestone.
Number 3: Rosemary Oil. This oil boosts memory, helping you and your littles stay on top of all the things you need to do throughout the day. ReadME’s parenting division, MomME, conducted a study asking a newborn baby to identify flashcards twice after consuming rosemary oil. He got 0/16 right both times, suggesting a 100% retention rate. Don’t forget about this feisty little oil!
Number 4: Cedarwood Oil. This oil is the best natural sleep aid for children.**
**The best safe natural sleep aid for children. As some readers are aware, I wrote an article last year stating that “the best natural sleep aid for children is a squareon blow with a cast iron skillet”. After an enriching discussion with CPS, I realized that cedarwood oil is much more gentle (although not nearly as effective).
Number 5: Bergamot Oil. This oil has calming effects, so say goodbye to stress! After two weeks of diffusing bergamot oil, my entire family is much more relaxed. My kids haven’t made a peep since I went out to buy more oils and left the stove on!
I hope this list helps you and your littles make it through the winter exactly as healthy as you were before. Thanks for reading, momsicles!
