Altevita KIDDY BREATHE 10ml

KIDDY BREATHE – 100% essential oil blend for breathing

Composition: Mandarin, lemon, hemlock

Ingredients: Citrus Nobilis, Citrus Limon, Tsuga Canadensis

Kiddy Breathe is a blend that makes breathing easier for children, developed to provide the quickest relief for a blocked nose, cough relief, and congestion. It is also suitable as a preventative during flu seasons or during the autumn and winter months when the respiratory system is often weakened.

Mandarin is one of the most popular children's essences due to its pleasant sweet scent, which helps harmonize the body. Lemon is one of the most versatile essences, effective against viruses and bacteria, energizing and refreshing. Hemlock complements citrus oils beautifully and helps ease breathing; when diluted with a carrier oil, the blend also helps with muscle and joint pain that often accompanies illness.

The blend is mainly suitable for diffusing, or as part of a bath or massage of the chest and feet area.

Tips for using 100% essential oil blends with children:

100% essential oils are a precious gift from nature; due to their potency, they are primarily intended for diffusing and, when properly diluted, for application to the skin.

Diffusing using a diffuser – for children, it is recommended to diffuse for about 20 – 30 minutes followed by the same break time (number of drops depends on room size (5 – 10 drops). Ideal any time during the day, or before bedtime.

If you don't have a diffuser, you can drop the blend on a damp towel and place it on a radiator.

Bath – according to the child's age (5 – 10 drops diluted with 1 – 2 tablespoons of carrier oil – almond, sesame or coconut), then add the mixed blend to a prepared warm bath. Never drop essential oil blends directly into water. The blend must be diluted in a fatty carrier, as oil does not mix with water and may cause an adverse reaction.

Application to skin – dilute (1 – 5% dilution with carrier oil – e.g. almond, sesame, coconut) and apply to the chest area, neck, under the nose, behind the ears or on the feet area. Never apply undiluted oil directly to the skin. Before first use, we recommend performing a tolerance test on children.

Recommended dilution of essential blends according to child's age:

up to 2 years – prefer hydrolats (hydrosols), or dilution max. 0.25% in carrier oil.

Using essential oils on children up to 2 years old is at your discretion; it is advisable to consult with an experienced aromatherapist you trust. Different aromatherapy schools recommend different age limits and different opinions regarding age and dosing. This is mainly because children's skin and mucous membranes are more sensitive and permeable, so caution is warranted.

2 – 6 years – max. 1% dilution (approx. 6 drops of blend + 30 ml carrier oil)

6 – 15 years – 2% dilution (approx. 12 drops of blend + 30 ml carrier oil)

Over 15 years – 3% - 5% dilution (approx. 20 – 30 drops of blend + 30 ml carrier oil)

Important notice: The above dilutions are general recommendations only.
