Home Remedies for Children's ANXIETY
•Touch works wonders for any anxiety condition. A soothing foot
massage is a particularly effective way to comfort a fretful baby.
Working both feet at the same time, rub with your thumbs from the
centre of the sole of the foot, over the ball and towards the bottom
of the toes. Repeat until baby is settled.
You can either do this though baby's clothes or use the following
aroma therapy oils:
Chamomile and Lavender are particularly soothing; both are safe to
use on newborn babies. Add the appropriate number of drops of
either essence to an Almond oil base. This aromatherapy oil can be
used to massage the feet or can be added to the bath.
Appropriate number of drops
Age Drops per 30 ml Base Oil
Newborn to 2 months 1-2 drops
2 to 6 months 2-3 drops
6 to 12 months 3-4 drops
1 to 5 years 4-6 drops
5 to 7 years 6-10 drops
7 to 12 years 8-12 drops
•For children over 6: a 50: 50 blend of Chamomile and Lavender can
be dropped onto the pillow and used in a vaporizer to fragrance the
bedroom.
•Make an infusion from a blend of Chamomile flowers, Lime flowers
and Orange blossom. Add 1 teaspoon of each herb to a pint (600 ml)
of boiling water. When cooled, give the recommended dosage.
Avoid giving any drinks containing caffeine, such as cocoa, cola,
coffee or tea, as this stimulating chemical can make your child feel
more anxious.
Recommended dosage
Newborn to 2 years 1 teaspoon
2 to 6 years 2 to 3 teaspoon
6 to 10 years 1 tablespoon
