nosebleeds + geranium

(source)

 

i'd heard that geranium can help with blood, specifically that somehow it gives your platelets a boost to do their job faster.

so, when my daughter had a bloody nose, i put some geranium on the outside of her nostril.

what do you know! she was fine in no time.

geranium + cradle cap

when my baby was only a couple months old, he had awful cradle cap.  i looked up the symptom in my handy dandy Quick Reference Guide (that my Young Living team gifts to each and every member) + it said to blend geranium with lemon and dilute with a carrier oil.

i stored the mixture in an old baby food jar (essential oils can eat through plastic) + applied it on his hair during bathtime every other day.  it really helped those scabs flake off!
