The expert’s advice:
To soothe a baby’s teething pains: mix 2 drops of Clove essential oil, 2 drops of Roman Chamomile and 10 ml of Apricot Kernel vegetable oil. Place 3 drops of this mixture on the tip of the little finger and massage the baby’s gums as needed. The pain will quickly fade away. Acute pain relief: mix 20 drops of Peppermint, 5 drops of Wintergreen, 5 drops of Clove, 10 drops of Spike Lavender into a mixture of 10 ml of Arnica macerated oil, 10 ml of Calendula macerated oil and 10 ml of St. John’s Wort macerated oil.
