Basic 4 Essential Oils

Some mummies friends introduced essential oil to me recently last 2 months.  It seems to be the "new" self medication rave at the moment. Very skeptical at the start but slowly started it. To my readers, please do take the time to understand it and not fully listen those who recommended to you. Do put a little time to research on web or ask around at least. As the "kiasu" me, I asked more than 5 advance users before I started using the basic.

Indeed, it does help from a prevention and also early stages of syntopms.

Just a brief post to record the teachings and notes so that I do not forget (as you all know, clueless mom is getting forgetful too)

Basic Essential Oil Kit:
1) Lavender
2) Eucalyptus
3) Tree Tee Oil
4) Peppermint **

** Peppermint: Though it is under my Basic list , but it is a very powerful EO that need extra care.

1) Lavendar
Good for relaxation, Itchyness

2) Eucalytus
Good for cold and flu , running nose, chest feeling tightness

3) Tea Tee Oil
Good for antiseptic (what Dettol can do , it can do as well) and I love the smell and use it as a Fraqance for the house with the "spray spray method" *will talk more about this later*

4) Peppermint
Good for fever and indigestion

For Fever:  
Use Peppermint for SPINE and Feet  (due to it is very stimulating eo, so don't use CHEST)
Use Eucalytus for CHEST and Back

For Flu and Cold:  
Use Eucalytus for CHEST and Back (wait 2 mins) then
Use Lavendar for CHEST and Back (wait 2 mins) then
User Tea tree Oil

Usage: 
drop 3 drop of Carrier Oil (for eg: Sweet Almond Oil) and 1 drop of EO into the your palm. Rub it and then rub massage on your child chest and back and feet (and then try to make them put on socks) if they don't want, just forget about it as it can get like a war zone just to make kids wear socks!

How to rub? Imagine you are at a Spa massage and how you get your massage thats the way to do it.  a or else check some vidoes online for reference, or just rub it will do. No need to be too picky about it.



  • For Intense Treatment (every 1-2 hours application type), maximum of 5 days for Acute Illnesses (for eg, stomach flu)
  • For Normal treatment, can not do more than 7 days 


If treatment is started early enough, as soon as the first symptoms, the duration can be very short (12-48 hours)

For acute disorders, the duration is generally extended to 5-7 days at fairly strong doses.
For normal small problems (example chronic diseaees), do maximum 3 weeks and rest 1 week or lower doses

For Babies , to my info, use only Lavendar, Eculytus and Tea tree oil. Please do not use any others!
For Toodlers,  use pepermint only for Fever happens otherwise, try not to use it for anyhow reasons

Spray Spray method: Get a spray bottle 100 ml size + Add distlied water + 5 drops of tea tree oil
