Keep Babies Away from Lavender, It's Dangerous!
The purple plant named Lavandula Angustifolia is capable of producing highly beneficial extracts. According to the health site Alodokter, lavender oil has many health benefits. Starting from its unique aroma, and refreshing qualities to its calming effects.
So, it's no wonder that the benefits of lavender oil can improve mood, relieve headaches, and even promote better sleep. Those suffering from insomnia, they're likely familiar with lavender as it can help induce sleep quickly, thanks to its calming properties.
This is not unrelated to the phenomenon of difficulty sleeping or insomnia experienced by many adults. The journal titled Insomnia: Definition, Prevalence, Etiology, and Consequences by Thomas Roth explains that based on research, 30 percent of adults from the total sample of the study reported experiencing difficulty sleeping or insomnia.
Similar results are also seen in the Norwegian health and wellness publication Helsestrat, stating that more than 1 in 4 adults ages 18 to 24 experience insomnia every night; it's the highest rate of insomnia out of any age group in the U.S. These two studies show that adults often experience insomnia. Hence, it's no wonder that many use aids such as aromatherapy to help them sleep.
Likewise, babies also need sleep, and their need for it should be even greater. However, uncomfortable conditions can potentially make it difficult for babies to sleep. Various methods are used, and one of them is using natural ingredients like Lavandula Angustifolia or lavender as aromatherapy.
So, both adults and babies need lavender to maintain peace. A survey by Fact MR shows that the global lavender oil market size is estimated at USD 138.2 million for 2024 and is predicted to reach a valuation of USD 267.2 million by the end of 2034.
Imagine if babies use lavender aromatherapy, their bodies would relax and sleep. It turns out the solution is to optimize lavender oil to create tranquility. According to skin experts, lavender oil is good for babies. However, it is still important to test the oil on a small patch of skin first to rule out any allergies. Speaking to your little one's dermatologist about it is also a good idea.
Many benefits are felt by babies when using lavender. According to greenpeople.co.uk, lavender can support a silent night’s sleep by calming irritable babies and soothing sleep-disturbing skin complaints including; cradle cap, infant eczema, and irritated infant skin.
This is the 'danger' if lavender or Lavandula Angustifolia comes into contact with babies because it can make your baby sleep soundly.
