[Everything doTERRA] Re: Lavender Essential oil and new born and young babies ~

ha!  no offense taken :-)  i saw 'heart stopped' and thought 'heart slowed down'.  plus, why would lavender put them into 'fight or flight'?  now it makes even less sense!  lol.  and thanks for the good wishes, apparently i will need them ;-)

HI Cara, 

I don't mean to offend but I think you have that reversed. The sympathetic nervous system is the 'fight or flight" mode and the parasympathetic is the system you stimulate in a massage to encourage 'rest and digest'. Good luck in your anatomy class!

from my basic anatomy class in massage school that i am in right now... sympathetic mode is a good place for us to be - it is the 'rest and digest' mode, vs the parasympathetic 'fight or flight' mode that speeds up heart rate, etc.  sympathetic mode would not stop your heart, it would just slow it to its normal pace so the body can use its energy elsewhere, such as proper digestion and lowering stress.

I am no dr but can tell you our oils are safe for babies...now I will say a very small amount w/b sufficient for such a tiny one. I mean 1 drop or less...there is a book out by Stephanie Fritz available from myoilbusiness or aromatools (can't remember which) about essential oils &babies/children. I would trust her& I know she doesn't think Lavender is harmful for babies. Just my 2 cents...
