Because children are prone to illness and cannot take medication regularly for various reasons, massage has become a choice for many parents. Pediatric massage is becoming increasingly popular, and some parents even start applying essential oils to their children before massage. However, the essential oils used by children need to be carefully selected. So, what essential oil is better to apply before pediatric massage?
For pediatric massage, ginger essential oil can be chosen. If a child needs massage due to bloating or other reasons, applying ginger essential oil to the abdomen will have a better massage effect. Because ginger essential oil has a digestive promoting effect on the spleen and stomach, and can also solve the problem of indigestion, children with loss of appetite need ginger essential oil the most.
Before pediatric massage, peppermint essential oil can also be applied, which has the effect of promoting qi and blood circulation. If the meridians are not smooth or the child has a fever, this type of essential oil needs to be applied the most. The scent of peppermint essential oil is also quite pleasant, and many children do not refuse this type of essential oil.
Rosemary essential oil is also a good choice for children. It has cough relieving effect and is good for the lungs. If children suffer from respiratory diseases such as coughing, they can apply this type of essential oil before pediatric massage. Rosemary essential oil may be difficult to find. You must buy authentic ones.
