6 Useful Medicinal Plants For Children

Crying and fears

Crying and nighttime fears are common in children. The aromatherapy can offer simple solutions to try to alleviate these problems. Experts recommend lavender, bergamot, geranium, sandalwood, lemon balm, or neroli essential oils.

It is enough to apply a drop of these oils on a handkerchief, put it under the pillow or vaporize the room with the essence. If the fear is intense, those over 6 years of age can inhale a handkerchief impregnated with a drop of essence for a few minutes.
