Essential oils

Question
Hello,
we have just received an essential oil diffuser for Christmas. Our baby has cystic fibrosis, do you think we can use it. Could this be irritating?
Answer
Hello,
You can find answers already posted on this forum, warning against the nebulization of essential oils to the airways of people with cystic fibrosis. (go to "essential oils" in the list of topics or on the "search" section. By diffusion the risk is probably lower, but caution remains warranted.

Sincerely,
Dr Sophie Ravilly
