Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Paula & Marge, My 5 year old is so scared of the monsters, he even worries that they will get our 70 lb. Chow/Shepard mix (that I try to convince him is protecting him at night). I am new to this group today from San Antonio, and I am done trying to convince him there is no such thing as monsters. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I'm making him some Monster Away Spray tomorrow!!! Great idea!! I Like Marge's extended EO blend, the more, the merrier! Thankful to be part of this group, you all seem super nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi Bimmerkim, Here is another recipe we have used with children to SHOO the MONSTERS AWAY at BEDTIME It's a room spray, for use by those that don't want to use a diffuser in the room. To make the Bedtime Spray mix of the following essential oils in a 8 ounce bottle of distilled water. 12 drops Roman Chamomile 12 drops Lavender and 8 drops Orange 30 drops of Emulsifier You need to mix your essential oils with the emulsifier BEFORE adding them to the water. (There are many different types of emulsifier - it helps mix the essential oils with the water - to keep it from separating out and floating to the top of the bottle). Mix, shake well and spritz on the pillow and in the air in the room. This mixture is good where " monsters' hide too! : & #8722;) Mix the Essential oils with the emulsifier, blend well then add to the distilled water, shake well before spraying! We have a couple more easy to make recipes for " Monster shooing " too! Yours in Aromatherapy, Penny Your One Stop Aromatherapy Shop!

It would probably be best in a diffuser (maybe water based?).. Sage could be either good, or bad for fear and anxiety - depends on the reaction, but give it a shot hey? But there is no replacement for the protection of mom.. I hope you find something that works, poor guy... Andy > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 even easier (and safer if there are infants in the room)... Lavender Hydrosol, Neroli Hydrosol... almost any restful/soothing hydrosol... Roman chamomile also comes to mind... or Owyhee, or Blue Tansy.... A former staffer's little one had school anxiety for K-2 or 3... Mom kept a one oz Neroli Hydrosol spritzer in her purse... her daughter called it her 'butterfly spray' " cause it makes the butterflies in my tummy go way " Since 1995 - supplying Aromatherapy and Healthcare Professionals Website: http://www.naturesgift.com Blog: http://naturesgiftaromatherapy.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Monsters are very sacry. I have been making Monster spray for many years and it is very effective. The act of spraying the closets and under the beds really gives the kids power. I wish you luck and lavender is my main eo I use. I also use squirt guns to put the spray in.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 yup, we did that too and also chunked an axe or put a knife into the ground so the kids would know the tornado would 'split' and we would be safe.......and if you have a 'my buddy' doll.......GET IT OUT....after the 'Chuckie' scary movies a boy I baby sat saw his run in his room at nite LOL...... Oh and changing their beds to north and south and not east and west. In native tradition you do not put your bed east to west or you will have bad dreams. That is the direction of those that sleep under the stars once they've crossed over so north and south. In our house we had a lot of 'ritual' or ceremony and salting the perimeters or smudging and salting worked for my kids quite well. evie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
