Home Remedies for Children's ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES
- Prevention is the best cure for accidents. All parents
learn to be vigilant, usually foreseeing potentially

them.
- Lavender is one of the best essential oils for treating
wounds of all kinds.
For babies over 6 months old: Lavender or Eucalyptus
For children over 1 year old: Lavender, Eucalyptus,
Tea Tree or Geranium.
Add the following appropriate number of drops to a
base of Almond or Rosehip oil.
Age Drops per 30 ml Base Oil
Newborn to 2 months 1-2 drops
2 to 6 months 2-3 drops
6 to 12 months 3-4 drops
1 to 5 years 4-6 drops
