This page provides a list of essential oils that my husband and I have been using for our family. We have been trying out different alternative natural therapies for our overall well-being. My husband is currently studying to be an aromatherapist and these are some of his suggestions as recommended by his tutor.
Our oil selections are mainly catered to our daughter’s needs. She is turning 3 and hence some of the oils used are carefully selected and shortlisted after researching with many resources and tutors.
White Thyme – used for sinusitis and nasal inflammation. We were advised not to use Red Thyme as it is regarded as a neurotoxin with excessive exposure over a period of time.
Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) – To calm the mind and to help with sinus inflammation
True Lavender (Lavendula augustifolia) – General calming of the body and mind. Supports and complements many other oils. There are many types of Lavender oils being sold. Some enhance awakening while other calm the senses to promote sleep. True lavender calms the mind and promotes good sleep.
Eucalyptus Radiata – Sinus and chest inflammation.
Lemon – Fever breaker, antiviral and antibacterial. Blends well with True Lavender
Tea Tree – Antiviral and antibacterial. Diffused during colds or flu periods.
Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) – Chest inflammation, bronchitis
Ginger – Stomach ailments
We will continue to update this page with time.
