Aromatherapy does work!

France - In Strasbourg, Luc Marlier, researcher at the CNRS ( National Centre of Scientific Research ) has been using Vanilla essential oil in the ward caring for premature babies. Results : 82% less apnea episodes. The use of essential oils has also helped to calm babies down during blood tests, injections .. Vanilla is also used in some hospitals before patients go for MRI as it reduce significantly their anxiety. Mon Bebe contains Vanilla extracts and we have to say we have had wonderful feedback from parents whose babies had difficulties settling down or sleeping well or suffering from colics, some of them even calling our scented water a 'life saver'! Mon Bebe also contains hawthorn, lime-tree and centauree which are renown for their soothing and hydrating benefits. It is great that at last alternative therapies are being used in hospitals and it must be certainly reassuring for parents of premature babies to know that their babies comfort has been improved without using drugs but natural remedies! Well done!
