Meghan D. Asks:
I am looking for something that would be safe to use on my 1 year old to help his eczema. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
Dr. Streicher Answers:
Dear Meghan,
Roman Chamomile, Neroli, Iris, and Helichrysum are very mild and safe to use in a 0.5% dilution in jojoba on a 1-year-old. Use one at a time to determine which one works best. In addition, I suggest seriously look into possible causes for the eczema. They are not eliminated by the Essential Oils.
Kind Regards,
Christoph Streicher, Ph.D.
