Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: EO sensitivity/rash/burn on young child

I'd follow what Janice said. I consider Onguard a hot oil. The chart in
the catalog, which I refer to often, lists it as 'sensitive' and many
people have to dilute it topically. For a 3 year old almost everything
is best on the bottom of their feet of the antiviral variety like
Onguard and Oregano. I recommend diluting almost everything when they
are that young and just doing a small amount like swiping your pinky
across the bottle. The FCO (Fractionated coconut oil) and lavender
should work. Many adults react similarly with Onguard, and sometimes
melaleuca so watch that one too.
