I'm interested in whether anyone has experience of using either of these oils with their children. My Son is 14 months now with a brain injury caused by meningitis, he is severely delayed, unable to sit unsupported and has West Syndrome epilelpsy. I am starting to look at what I can do to supplement the physio etc we get offered to help 'bring him on'. I have read about people giving omega 3 fish oil to their children and heard people say that concentration etc improved, has anyone experience of this? Would it be suitable for a child of his age? Where do I get it from and how do I administer? Is there risks involved?
Now the frankincense oil, I was told recently that there are Mothers out there who believe that massaging their children with oils such as Frankincense has pretty much cured or at least improved their child's epilepsy or cerebral palsy, again I am worried about risks that could be involved and don't really know how to go about this. I know the obvious answer is to ask the paed but he was very sceptical when I mentioned other 'complimentary' therapies. (Like holding DS upside down in his yoga sessions!)
