USAGE TIPS FOR BABIES & CHILDREN (Tips/ Saran Penggunaan Untuk Bayi dan Anak-Anak)*


*This is just a general guideline and great care should be taken to research each essential oil's maximum dermal use individually before use (Ini hanya pedoman umum dan harus perhatikan takaran untuk meneliti berapa maksimum penggunaan minyak atsiri secara individual sebelum digunakan.)


Diffuser (Difusi)

Diffusion is the safetiest method. This is because essential oils spread in the air in small amounts. Use 5-10 drops EO within 250 cc water (Difusi adalah metode paling aman. Hal ini disebabkan karena essential oils menyebar di udara dalam jumlah yang kecil. Masukkan 5-10 tetes EO ke dalam 250 cc air)


Dilution (Pengenceran)

  • 3-6 months old (3-6 bulan): 1 drop EO for every 10 cc carrier oil (only use 1/4 part after dilute with carrier oil) // 1 tetes EO untuk setiap 10 cc carrier oil (gunakan hanya 1/4 bagian setelah dicampurkan carrier oil)

  • 7 months - 2 years old (7 bulan - 2 tahun): 1 drop EO for every 10 cc carrier oil (only use 1/2 part after dilute with carrier oil) // 1 tetes EO untuk setiap 10 cc carrier oil (gunakan hanya 1/2 bagian setelah dicampurkan carrier oil)

  • 2-5 years old (2-5 tahun): 1-2 drops EO for every 10 cc carrier oil (only use 1/2 part after dilute with carrier oil) // 1-2 tetes EO untuk setiap 10 cc carrier oil (gunakan hanya 1/2 bagian setelah dicampurkan carrier oil)

  • 6-9 years old (6-9 tahun): 1-3 drops EO for every 10 cc carrier oil // 1-3 tetes untuk setiap 10 cc carrier oil

  • 10+ years old (di atas 10 tahun): 1-4 drops EO for every 10 cc carrier oil // 1-4 tetes untuk setiap 10 cc carrier oil

(Inhalasi bisa digunakan menggunakan media seperti kapas, tissue, sarung tangan, sarung bantal, atau piyama. Teteskan 1-2 tetes EO pada salah satu media tersebut lalu dekatkan pada anak agar anak bisa menghirupnya)


Compress (Kompres)

Compress method can only be used for children over 2 years old only. Metode kompres hanya dapat digunakan untuk anak berusia di atas 2 tahun.


1. 2-4 drops EO within clean bowl contains 250 cc water. Use cold water for bruising symptoms and fever. Use warm water for cold, flu, soar throat, & stomach pain/ digestive symptoms (Masukkan 2-4 tetes EO ke dalam baskom bersih berisi 250 cc air. Gunakan air dingin untuk gejala demam & memar/ benjol. Gunakan air hangat untuk gejala batuk, pilek, flu, radang tenggorokan & sakit pada bagian perut).


2. Soak the cloth/towel into the bowl for about a minute, then squeeze (Rendam kain/ handuk ke dalam baskom selama 1 menit, lalu peras)


3. Apply a compress to the desired area for 10-15 minutes. (Lettakan kompresan pada area yang diinginkan selama 10-15 menit)



CARE INSTRUCTIONS (INSTRUKSI)


When introducing essential oils to babies, you have to remember that you haven't yet discovered the things they are allergic to. It's important to introduce essential oils one at a time and sparingly, to both watch your baby for any sort of reaction and to allow your baby's body to slowly become introduced to that essential oil. Do not introduce more than one essential oil in one day. If your baby is going to have a reaction to an essential oil they will likely show signs of a reaction in the first 15-30 minutes after inhalation or dermal application. (Ketika memperkenalkan essential oil kepada bayi, perlu diingat bahwa Anda belum menemukan jenis alergi mereka. Penting untuk memperkenalkan minyak esensial satu per satu untuk mengamati bayi Anda. Dengan begitu, reaksi alergi dapat terlihat dan tubuh anak akan mulai mengenal dan terbiasa dengan essential oils secara bertahap. Reaksi alergi adalah salah satu hal yang perlu diperhatikan. Pada umumnya, bayi akan menunjukkan reaksi dari essential oils pada 15-30 menit pertama setelah aplikasi. Oleh karena itu, tidak disarankan untuk menggunakan lebih dari satu jenis essential oil sekaligus)


Here are the things to note when using essential oils (Berikut hal-hal yang perlu diperhatikan saat menggunakan EO):

  1. Do not give essential oils that have not been diluted to the baby/child (Jangan berikan essential oils yang belum dicairkan kepada anak)

  2. Perform an allergy test before applying essential oils to the skin. (Lakukan tes alergi sebelum mengaplikasikan essential oils pada kulit)

  3. Do not apply essential oil in the face area, especially in eyes are (Jangan aplikasikan essential oils di area wajah khususnya di area mata)

  4. Do not place essential oils on the child's nose directly, either to inhale or apply (Jangan letakkan essential oils di hidung anak secara langsung, baik untuk dihirup maupun diaplikasikan)

  5. Do not let children swallow up the essential oils (Jangan biarkan anak menelan essential oils)

  6. Do not use essential oils excessively (Jangan menggunakan essential oils secara berlebihan)

  7. Using essential oils in low and consistent doses is the safest and most effective (Penggunaan essential oils dalam dosis rendah dan konsisten adalah yang paling aman dan efektif)

  8. Keep essential oils out of the reach of a child (Jauhkan essential oils dari jangkauan anak)
