This book is astoundingly thorough and complete. I cannot say enough good things about it. It covers just about every childhood ailment you can think of, and ways to treat it with aromatherapy. And not just the typical massage oils and room scents. This book goes into hydrasols, essential oil waters, and the best carrier oils to use on kids. It covers every single thing you need to know to start using essential oils on your child. Not only that, it has dietary recommendations, mental health blends for the kids, and just good advice in general. It has a wonderful A to Z section of ailments that includes detailed explanation of the symptoms, cause, and treatment. This book is just great. It even has a small section on kids who have special needs. Everything is detailed perfectly. The layout is easy to follow and conditions or informaton can be swiftly looked up. If you have kids, you really should get this book. It is so informative and easy to read. I just can't say enough good things about this book.

This book is an indispensable guide for every parent who thinks pro-actively about their children's long-term physical and mental health. Powerful, yet safe, aromatherapy is a sound way to treat everything from influenza to sunburn in children. Many complaints such as aches and coughs that might otherwise have to wait for a visit to the doctor can be addressed immediately at home, using the healing power of nature.

If you buy this book you will for sure get your monies worth. It is a great book for those of us who are a littel worried about making suggestion to parents for using aromatherapy on their children. If you are new to aromatherapy be sure to include this book in your library. It won't stay on the shelf long; you will read it many times over. Great book. Buy it you won't be sorry.

I took an aromatherapy weekend seminar as an introductory to this fascinating subject. Was I surprised as to how interesting and versitile aromatherapy is. As a mother of 4 young children,I have always used natural medicine as a first priority and this has saved us many trips to the doctor and many doses of unwarranted antibiotics. I did not realize the potential that essential oils possess until I took the seminar. I bought this book after I took the seminar and have used it lots especially the oil blends for respiratory problems. I also have used her other book called The Fragrant Pharmacy and this book is LOADED with information. This lady knows her oils and is one of the best there is.You won't regret buying it!

I Love this book, I use it for all memebers of my family.
Its not just for kids, each blend can be used on anyone.
I love the science of EOs, however this book doesnt offer that info on it, but does offer the BEST BLENDS I have ever used.
I know what each oil does, and even when I am sure of what oils I am going to use I find myself opening this book and each oil I have thought on my own to use because I know how great it is for a certain condition, is the oils she has mentioned to use.
Plus the ease of finding what you are need to a blend for is great. The A to Z type of format is wonderful.
As I mentioned I am aware of each oils chemical makeup and find this book to give the best oil for each conditoin.
This is a MUST HAVE. You will be so PLEASED.
Plus make sure to blend up the room disfect spray. I love this spray and use to so often.
BUY this BOOK you will always find yourself going to it.

This book was worth the price for the "sniffles and snuffles" recipe alone! A single drop of that remedy and my chronically ear-infected, sinus infected child 18 month old easily without any cough syrup (which upsets his stomach violently).

This book is an excellent reference for those wishing to use essential oils on children. It breaks the oils for use down by age and each recipe gives allowable substitutions, so you can tailor it for the child with whom you are working.

I use both of Ms. Wormwood books extensively. She generously shares her knowledge and her craft.

Unlike Worwoods other book The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy: Over 600 Natural, Non-Toxic and Fragrant Recipes to Create Health - Beauty - a Safe Home Environment, the oils she suggests in this one are difficult to come by. I have used many of her suggestions for other modalities and have found them helpful.

This book is awesome. I bought this book knowing nothing about Essential Oils and read it completely through before buying any. I now have over 25 oils and constantly refer to this book to help me with any problem I have. These recipes are safe for children AND adults. Don't be scared to use them on yourself and your whole family. The author does a really great job defining and discussing each oil and what it is good for. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to all parents who want to use natural healing methods rather than prescription drugs and harmful chemicals. The recipes WORK. And it is a very simple book to understand. Buy it!

The purchase of this book completed my Valerie Ann Worwood collection. I absolutely love her books and this one did not disappoint. I have the children section in her "The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy" book dog eared, highlighted and worn out. I knew I needed more info. on Ess. oils and children so I finally got around to ordering this book. I love it! I have already used multiple blends on my own children and done some up for my siblings and clients to use on their children. This book just makes it so easy to use aromatherapy and I don't have to worry about the strength on my children because she takes such care in making the dillutions clear in each recipe. This is a great book and I highly suggest it to anyone looking at aromatherapy to help with raising their little ones. It has already helped my boys with ear infections, owies, growing pains, sunburn, & bug bites. I also made up a blend using one of her caring massage blends with a couple other oils but instead of for massage I put it in a spray bottle w/ distilled water and gave it to a friend of mine for her son to use as a "Monster Spray" to help him stay in his bed at night and so far...so good!! I already had most of the oils in her Basic Care Kit so it wasn't hard or expensive to complete and one of the first things I did was make up all of her First Aid Cabinet recipes, they are soooo easy so don't be afraid to make them, it will be well worth your while! So again I LOVE this book and highly suggest it to anyone interested in aromatherapy as an aid to raising Healthy Children!!

I absolutely love this book. I have both books by her and use them both and find myself refering to this one alot more. I even use it on myself and it works wonderfully. There are cures for almost everything in here... Like I said I love this book!!! I really don't need another baby/kids book because it's all here.
