The safest way to incorporate essential oils into your babies routine is to massage into the skin using prediluted blends.The benefits of baby massage are well documented and it’s clear that a baby’s first emotional bonds are built on sensory exploration and physical contact. Touch and smell are our first languages and serve as the foundation for emotional and intellectual development. Touch communicates love and massaging babies regularly with essential oil blends helps to relax, strengthen bonds and create magical moments of peace for babies and parents.

‘Touch is ten times stronger than verbal or emotional contact…we forget that touch is not only basic to our species, but the key to it’ Ashley Montagu.
