Orange Blossom: A Natural Ally in the Care of Babies and Children.

On the one hand, this floral water constitutes a remedy against colics: infants frequently suffer from colic after a meal. These painful attacks are caused by spasms of the intestine. They are characterized by a hard stomach, legs which stiffen, a red face and crying attacks. Orange blossom floral water is a natural remedy for these pains. It is thus advised to add some drops in the bottle or in the food to relieve the infant. This hydrosol can be combined with chamomile water, also known for its calming properties.
On the other hand, orange blossom water promotes sleep. The monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes it contains, such as linalool and limonene, soothe tension and calm the nervous system, promoting relaxation that helps you fall asleep. To take advantage of these benefits, this hydrosol can be used by vaporization, like a mist. It is advised to spray it on the pillow, the sheets, the comforter or even in the baby's baby carriage, before bedtime. It may also be appropriate to pour a few drops of this hydrolate into the bath before bedtime, to promote relaxation. You can also mix a small amount of orange blossom hydrosol with a vegetable oil such as Calendula or Olive oil. Then apply this mixture to the solar plexus, the arch of the foot and along the spine of the child and massage gently.
