Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 do not use eucalyptus w/a baby! you can get by w/using eucalyptus radiata, but even then very sparingly. diffuse for only short periods & not in a closed room. do not use any other type eucalyptus. you can diffuse lavender. it is much safer and can also be used as a decongestant.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Actually Lemon Euclyptus would be the best choice but none of the oils should be practically shoved in the baby's face. That's not only dangerous but rather cruel.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Frankincense is also a great decongestant, as well as Lavandin, which is a type of Lavender that is especially good for congestion, as well as very safe for all ages. (Never use essential oils around cats!) Lavandin's Latin name is Lavandula x Intermedia. The Latin name is how you know what actual essential oil you are dealing with. (diffused or heavily diluted and rubbed on back and chest.)
