i think for as long as you need - i sometimes keep mine for a year and they always smell fine and work great. but normally you run out before this and i only have mine for about 3 months . i think just untill you run out. but if your worried and heard 6 mnths go with that
ylang ylang and lavender are great for relaxation great choice!

All Lampe Berger products are distributed from Sydney in Australia. Best to search on the net for a Lampe Berger distributor in Sydney, and ask if they can arrange special delivery of the oils for you, as since it is a flammable liquid, hence can NOT be delivered via Aust Post. Report Abuse
Have you tried contacting them at www.lbnet.com.au/tvs

Is eucalyptus essential oil safe to use for babies?
Could i have references please?Is eucalyptus essential oil safe to use for babies?
Yes, Eucalyptus oil is safe to use, even for infants. But please get a good aromatherapy reference BOOK before you start experimenting. :-)
For newborns to two months, massage is safe only with Roman Chamomile, Dill %26amp; Lavender.
For babies two to twelve months, add Mandarin, Tangerine, Eucalyptus (radiata) and Tea Tree to the list. Up to five years old, add Geranium to the list of safe oils for massage.
For massage oil, use 10 to 30 drops of essential oil to each 1 ounce (30 mls - 2 Tablespoons) of base or carrier oil, like Sweet Almond or Grapeseed oil. When using a new oil for the first time, limit the amount of exposure until you're sure there will be no reaction. After 24 hours, use as needed, as in a chest rub
For a humidifier, use up to 8 drops of essential oil to 2 cups of water. For inhalation, put 3 drops in a bowl of steaming water, cover the head with a towel and inhale the steam deeply. (You'll need to get under the towel with baby, so use a large one.)Is eucalyptus essential oil safe to use for babies?
I can't believe charlotte s recommended Clary Sage for infants! Please, get a good guide to essential oils and don't rely on what you read on the web. Report Abuse
No it's not. Any aromatherapy book will say. You can use lavender though. Some people say you can use Roman Chamomile if diluted. Saw book on Amazon you might be interested in:
yes. because it contains less harmful natural chemicals.
it contains distilled essences of wood of tropical trees, natural animal musks,flowers, fruits and herbs.
Eucalyptus is a highly toxic essential oil which should only be used for a short period of time. It can damage the kidneys and liver or worse, cause death if ingested. As a therapist, I would not advise the use of Eucalyptus oil on an infant. However, safe oils to use on infants/ toddlers include: lavender, chamomile, clary sage and rose. These all have calming and relaxing properties. Peppermint is a good oil to chose but this is more suitable for older children - this tends to be great for calming down hyperactive/ over excited children. If using the massaging method, bear in mind that when using essential oils on children, only 1 drop of essential oil should be used per 5mls of carrier oil. A great carrier oil suitable for children is sweet almond oil (providing they are not allergic to nuts) or Calendula oil. Weleda provide a range of oils that are suitable for children and babies - you should be able to purchase this from your local pharmacy.
Alternatively, you can place a drop or two of essential oil into the bath at bathing time. Blend the oil into a little milk first to prevent the oil from 'sitting' on top of the water and only add it once the water is in the bath tub to prevent the molecules from evaporating quickly. The only caution of this is to take care when getting out the bath as the bottom may become a little slippery.
Hope this is of help for you.
I wouldnt recommend using it, using strong oils like this can be dangerous in babies and small children. Consult Doctor.
Please read this section, it is provided to help ensure you make sensible choices when buying and using essential oils :-
Safe Oils For Children
Essential oils can prove very useful in the care of babies and infants, but extra care needs to be taken given their less well developed constitution. If applying topically always avoid possible sensitising or irritating essential oils altogether. Dilution wise use the rates below as maximums.
Babies 0-12 months: use only one drop of Lavender, Rose, German Chamomile or Roman Chamomile diluted in 5ml of carrier oil for massage or bathing.
- Infants 1-5 years: use only 2-3 drops of non sensitising or irritating oils diluted in 5ml of carrier oil for massage or bathing.
- Children 6-12 years: use one half of the directed adult amounts. Always patch test.
- Children over 12 years: use as directed for adults. Always patch test.
Diffusing essential oils is generally safe and can be a soothing way of helping children sleep. When colds and flu strike essential oils can help with the symptoms and also prevent the infection spreading. Again, only use the oils listed above for babies. Use a bulb ring, electric diffuser or use a scented pumice.
You should never use any oil, except lavender, without cutting it with another property. For example, using a fine oil with a few drops of an essential oil is usually what people do.
Using on a baby, for what exactly? You have to be careful because eucalyptus, some are alergic to, so go sparingly.
There's a children's oil in the olbas range.... What age baby?
no
All depends on how you intend to use the oil.
In a vaporizer; yes you can use a few drops of eucalyptus in a vaporizer.
NEVER put pure essential oils on the skin directly. There are some exceptions Tea Tree Oil, and Lavendar oils are safe to put on the skin.
If you are going to use oils in a vaporizer; you could also add a few drops of peppermint oil.
Essential oils are powerful; so use sparingly.
I know of this oil,but please consult your baby's paediatrician because it's very important for his or her health.
If baby has a cold you can buy specially prepared Karvol which DOES NOT go on skin but on a cloth near the cot. Never put essential oils on the skin.

I'm making some shower salts, and i want to subsititute extract for essential oil, can i do that?
orange, mint, or vanilla extract for essential oil? and how much is equilivant, if i can.I'm making some shower salts, and i want to subsititute extract for essential oil, can i do that?
well if you have the extracts already you could try making a small batch but i think using essential oil is probably better in the long run.I'm making some shower salts, and i want to subsititute extract for essential oil, can i do that?
The thing with extracts compared to oils is that an extract will go rancid. So if you are gonna use it then only make up a small batch of what you will use for one shower. no more.

Where can I get lemon essential oil in Tampa??
I need it for a recipe but i'm not sure where to find it... I googled health food stores but they're too far away from my house... Is there any place (other than a health food store) where i can get it?Where can I get lemon essential oil in Tampa??
You can try a cake supply store, or even cake supply sections in bigger supermarkets.
I saw some at a local GFS (Gordon Food Service) store today, but it was a pretty big container, close to $15.00 I think. Maybe they have smaller containers in Tampa.Where can I get lemon essential oil in Tampa??
If you just need it to flavor something, just substitute lemon extract. What are you making? If you're making candy, just be warned that extracts evaporate when heated. Double the amount of lemon extract for lemon oil.
