Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I've ordered essential oils from CedarVale Natural Health www.cedarvale.net They have almost any oil you can think of. They list descriptions and uses for most of the oils. Their prices are very competitive, and there are no minimums. Kira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Worwood's introductory book does, as does Colleen K. Dodt's infant and childcare book. when you consider how powerful many of the oils are, do you want to risk irritating a baby's skin, creating an allergy, or affecting an immature nervous system? the other thing to remember is that when being used on an infant, the safe oils are used at extremely low dilutions.
