What is KidScents TummyGize?

KidScents TummyGize is an essential oil blend specifically designed for young ones, part of Young Living's KidScents line. Its formulation aims to provide a pleasant aromatic experience and contribute to a sense of well-being and comfort. It is composed of essential oils such as Peppermint, Blue Tansy, Spearmint, Fennel, Anise, Ginger, and Orange, selected for their complementary aromatic profiles that, when combined, create a harmonious synergy. This blend is pre-diluted, making it easy to apply topically to the delicate skin of children aged two years and older.

Composition and Active Ingredients

The efficacy of TummyGize lies in its careful selection of essential oils. Each component contributes its own aromatic characteristics to create a balanced and comforting olfactory profile:

• Peppermint Essential Oil (Mentha piperita): Known for its fresh and invigorating aroma. In this blend, it contributes to a feeling of cleanliness and freshness.
• Blue Tansy Essential Oil (Tanacetum annuum): Provides herbaceous and slightly sweet notes, and is valued in aromatherapy for its calming properties.
• Spearmint Essential Oil (Mentha spicata): Its aroma is softer and sweeter than peppermint, with refreshing nuances and a subtle minty touch.
• Fennel Essential Oil (Foeniculum vulgare): Offers a sweet and slightly anise-like aroma, traditionally associated with digestive comfort in herbal medicine.
• Anise Essential Oil (Pimpinella anisum): With its distinctive sweet licorice aroma, it complements fennel and adds a warm aromatic layer.
• Ginger Essential Oil (Zingiber officinale): Provides a spicy, warm, and slightly pungent note, recognized for its ability to soothe and comfort.
• Orange Essential Oil (Citrus aurantium dulcis): Its citrusy, sweet, and cheerful aroma adds a note of freshness and optimism to the blend, making it very pleasant for children.

The blend is diluted in fractionated coconut oil, making it suitable for direct application to children's sensitive skin, ensuring optimal absorption and minimizing any potential irritation.

Potential Aromatherapy Benefits

TummyGize is formulated to invoke an atmosphere of peace and well-being through its aroma. The main aromatic benefits that can be associated with this combination of essential oils include:

• Calming Sensation: The aromas of Blue Tansy, Peppermint, and Spearmint may contribute to a relaxing environment.
• Abdominal Comfort: Topical application of the diluted oil on the abdomen, along with a gentle massage, may promote a feeling of relief and tranquility in the area.
• Emotional Support: The citrus notes of Orange, combined with the warm touches of Ginger and Anise, may help create a positive mood and a sense of security in children.
• Relaxation Ritual: Integrating TummyGize into a post-meal or pre-bedtime routine can establish a self-care and comfort ritual for the child.

How to Use

The versatility of TummyGize allows for several methods of use, always with a focus on children's safety and well-being:

• Direct Topical Application: Apply 2-4 drops directly to the child's abdomen and gently massage in a clockwise direction. It can also be applied to the feet.
• Comforting Bath: Add 5-10 drops to a warm bath (always diluted first in a dispersant like Epsom salts or unscented bath gel) to create a relaxing aromatic experience.
• Environmental Diffusion (optional): Although primarily formulated for topical use, a few drops in a cool-mist diffuser may help gently scent the room, always under adult supervision and in well-ventilated spaces.

It is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small skin area to ensure compatibility.

Synergies and Recipes

TummyGize is a complete blend in itself, but it can be complemented with other mild, child-safe essential oils in certain situations to enhance its aromatic effects:

• Additional Comfort: Mix 1-2 drops of TummyGize with one drop of Lavender essential oil for an abdominal massage before bedtime, promoting an atmosphere of greater relaxation.
• Warm Atmosphere: For environmental diffusion, if desired, combine TummyGize with a few drops of Roman Chamomile essential oil to create an olfactorily more cozy and tranquil space.
• Foot Massage: Before putting the child to bed, apply TummyGize to the soles of the feet and gently massage. This practice fosters a general sense of well-being.

Always ensure that any additional oil is suitable for children and properly diluted.
