Baby Massage

Infants love massage, from the very tiny one week old to toddlers and beyond. Mothers all over the world instinctively massage their babies and have done so since time began. Massage can help to calm and soothe babies, it gently stimulates their circulatory, lymphatic , and nervous systems. It also works profoundly on their limbic system (the babies emotions). The use of essential oils can also be of great benefit, aiding restful sleep and generally helping to balance their routines at an early age.

Research shows that massaged babies gain birth weight quicker. Teething can be eased by applying essential oil blended with carrier oils or creams. Eczema, dry skin and nappy rash can all be soothed with essential oils. When applying essential oils to babies' skin, the oil is always diluted with a carrier oil such as almond oil.
