With every order of essential oils from Young Living each month, I get a training CD to listen to containing various bits on how to use oils and other topics on healthy living. Yesterday, while listening to one of them as I worked out, I learned that you can use peppermint to help an infant’s fever.

I wish I had listened to this CD weeks ago because Ella just got over a fever . . . but until I have the opportunity again to try this, I thought I would pass along the tip anyway. It certainly cannot hurt your baby and it probably will help.

Place 5 drops of peppermint oil on your hands. Rub together and then rub on one of baby’s feet. Repeat with the other foot and another 5 drops. 1 drop of peppermint oil has the same constituents and healing quality of 28 cups of peppermint tea. So you are delivering a powerful herbal remedy to your infant very safely.

Hope this might help some hot, fussy baby!
