What's in the essential balm? Can the baby use essential balm?

We all know that essential balm is a powerful tool to repel mosquitoes and relieve itching, and almost every family will prepare several bottles. However, some mothers still have questions. What's in the essential balm? Can the baby use essential balm?

Menthol and eucalyptus oil contained in Fengjing are irritating to baby's skin; Sesame essence and eugenol may cause baby allergies; Camphor has antipruritic effect, but it is toxic. It is not recommended for infants for the following reasons:

1, essential balm has an influence on infants, especially the younger they are, the greater the influence may be. If you often use essential balm, it is not good for your child. Alcohol is the first ingredient of wind essence. If applied to the child's delicate skin, it may enter the blood through the skin, and the child's brain has not yet matured. If you are exposed to alcohol frequently, it is likely to affect your child's brain development and even your child's intelligence.

2. Although cooling oil and wind oil essence can cool down and relieve itching, they are too irritating to infants. This is because menthol, camphor and other substances contained in essential balm have inhibitory effects on the nervous system, and excessive use of some infants will cause serious adverse reactions such as respiratory arrest. When applied to children's nostrils, face, chest or oral administration, the amount of drugs entering the central nervous system is high, which is more likely to cause danger.

3, the baby's skin is tender, and the balm contains alcohol and harmful substances, which is very irritating because it has a bad influence on the baby's skin and development.

4. The baby's use of balm will lead to jaundice, with symptoms such as yellow body, bruised lips, brown urine, inability to suck milk, crying weakness, and even convulsions and convulsions, which may damage the baby's brain function.

The traditional mosquito repellent method has less harm and better effect. If children are at home, mosquito nets are the most suitable anti-mosquito items. Spray some mosquito repellent when going out, try not to go to wet places and wear loose long-sleeved clothes. You can also use calamine lotion to relieve itching for your baby. The ingredients of calamine lotion are safe and non-irritating. Shake well before use, dip it with a cotton swab and apply it to the affected area. In addition, it is not recommended that babies use prickly heat powder. The dust of prickly heat powder is in danger of being inhaled by the baby. When encountering sweat, it is easy to agglomerate and block pores, which is not conducive to perspiration.
