Feel free to pm me if you have any other new mommy questions. I don't mind at all. My daughter is five years old and very healthy. She has never once had a prescription drug, not even an antibiotic. She's never needed one, I am always on top of her illnesses with healing whole foods and herbal remedies. She is very rarely sick and has never been sick more than 5 days, and most times it's two. Knock on wood, she has yet to become sick since last Spring.
Thank you i will keep all this in mind it has been helpful.. i am not one who likes using dr medicines i simply love the idea of natural medicines, also love to make them myself. if anyone has any ideas of other things like some way to make a chamomile incense? that would be great. I do a lot of researching but i do not have luck in finding this out. something to help her as well as myself go to sleep easier.
You really don't want to use any sort of smoke around a baby. Their lungs aren't fully developed and you have yet to discover whether she has anything like asthma which is normally not noticed until later. You don't want to find out the hard way early on.
If you want to use aromatherapy, that's what the lavendar baths and lotions are for. Chamomile is inferior to lavendar in aromatherapy.
I have a herbal formula for sleep. it is called sweet sleep.
When I make it for other people and I go to bed it is the deepest sleep I could dream of. It was given to Us by our High priestess in my old coven. first make a small bag about 3X3" get the following, bergamot oil,calendula blossoms,catnip,chamomile blossoms( can use contents of a few tea bags),henna,hops,lavender,linden blossoms, marjoram,mullien,patchouli oil,poppies and poppy seeds,tuberose,valerian,vetiver oil. remember you do not need every ingredient but a combination of 8 is what I use. as always cast your circle, mix your ingredients dry first,then add your oils. when mixed putinto the bag sew it shut place on night stand close to bed, or under pillow. I know it works on adults and kids it is non toxic. Anyone or any combination will give effects.
Blessings and peace:

If you want to try it with three ingredients, I would use calendula blossoms,lavender oil, and patchouli oil, or vetiver.

The previous advice of Chamomile and Lavender are excellent posts. As was pointed out to you by WhiteRav3n if you are relaxed your child will feel it and relax too. It would be good for you to have chamomile tea and a lavender bath. It's been over 20 years since my daughter turned one but in olden days I would add a few drops of essential oil to the vaporizer.
As for chants and spells, depending on what you are trying to alleviate such as fevers or congestion there are some hex magick chants that are effective when meditating and sending healing energy.
Also peppermint oil as well as menthol can clear the nasal and air ways. With a young child the oil must never come into contact with their skin. The peppermint oil is extremely strong and will burn. A very small amount of peppermint oil, say a drop on a tissue near her where she can breathe in the vapors will go a long ways. I believe that Vick's or a similar brand has a menthol rub for children but like I said it's been a few years so I'm not sure what is available these days. Since your daughter is so young your local pharmacist will be your best guide.
When looking for natural cures I like to talk with consulants in the supplements area in stores such as Whole Foods and here we have a Food Co-Op and natural food shops. There are a few supplements and oils that can reduce the symptons for viruses making healing easier for the individual. Whatever you do make sure you check and double check the saftey for use on a year old baby.
Few drops of Anise essential oil in aroma lamp, or on a piece of cotton can induce sleep and isa very safe method. You can place small thumbled amethyst in sachet and attach ( sew it ) down to pillow. Same can be done with white pouch containing Frankincense tears, benzoin, and Anise seeds or Hops.
Flax seeds under pillow calm children, ward off nightmares and evil and said to invoke blessin'
Hope it helps, Many blessings to You and Your daughter
yes go to shamansgarden.com and go to the powder extracts and keep looking through the pages untill you find chlorella powder, it has 23 vitamins that are bio-chelated, this means that theyre wrapped in amino acids so premature bodies can easier digest and handle them, i have a 6 y.o baby stepsister so i know your concerns and the best part is its very cheap and very speedy delivery, and ounce of powder is 3 dollars i belive with shipping it should amount to 8 dollars on your credit card, mix with soups, its the best option, i hope you find this useful,
GINGER! calms the nerves, clears mucus, opens sinuses, all sorts of great stuff!! add a half teaspoon or so to a cup of tea, it is delicious, i do it when im not even sick:) and pray, to whoever if anyone, u see as higher than urself! simply burning a cadle for her can do wonders as well! mabye a white one for pureity from her illness? Also, when praying, or even asking my own inner recorces for help, I like to burn an inncense. They have ALWAYS been used for spiritual, prayer means, and also her smelling it could help clear her scenses and calm her, especialy something like lavender or anither calming scent. Best wishes to ur little girl, I hope she feels better soon!
