Supervise young children Because children are smaller and more sensitive than adults, it’s important to understand that the rules of essential oils are different for them. Once you educate yourself on the safety guidelines required for using essential oils with children, it’s easy to help your kids reap the benefits that oils have to offer. If your children have specific health conditions or concerns, consult with a physician. While special precautions should be taken when using oils around children, parents can still be confident that it’s safe for children to use essential oils. Always supervise essential oil application with your children. Because children have more delicate skin, it’s always a good idea to dilute oils before applying them topically. Try applying the oil to the bottom of a child’s feet before other areas. Store your essential oils out of reach of children to prevent unsupervised use. In addition, you can also use child-resistant caps to ensure your children don’t get into your collection of essential oils accidentally.
