Anti-Germ Blend recipe ages 3 – 5 years (and up!) Combine in a 5ml bottle: 30 drops Sweet Orange Citrus sinensis 20 drops Clove (Bud, Leaf, or Stem) Zyzygium aromaticum 20 drops Cinnamon Leaf Cinnamomum verum* 25 drops Siberian Fir Needle Abies sibirica *Feel free to exchange the Cinnamon Leaf for Lavender Lavandula angustifolia For this age group, diffusing into the air by adding 10 or so drops to your diffuser is the most gentle and can still be effective. You can make an inhaler by adding 10 drops to an inhaler, waving the inhaler under your child’s nose before and after being exposed to germs. Inhalation via an inhaler is a more concentrated route of inhalation than diffusion. Inhalation (via diffuser or inhaler) is more effective than topical use, but you can use it in a massage blend by combining 1 drop of this blend per teaspoon (5ml) of carrier oil for a 1% dilution if your child has been exposed to germs. For other volumes using a 1% dilution, see the chart here: Properly Diluting Essential Oils. Note: You can bump it up to 2% dilution if your child is sick.
