Teething in Children:
Teething is a normal developmental process where an infant’s first teeth emerge through the gums, typically occurring between 6 and 24 months of age. This process can cause discomfort, pain, and irritability as the teeth push through the gum line. Effective teething relief is crucial for maintaining comfort and well-being during this period.

Challenges During Teething:
Common teething symptoms include swollen or sore gums, drooling, irritability, and disrupted sleep. Addressing these symptoms involves soothing the gums and providing comfort to help manage the discomfort associated with teething.

Biological and Cellular Processes:

The essential oils are absorbed through the skin upon topical application and enter the systemic circulation. The therapeutic compounds then interact with the affected areas and systemic processes:

• Pain Relief: Eugenol (clove) and resins (myrrh) provide localized pain relief by numbing the area and reducing inflammation, easing the discomfort associated with teething.
• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Boswellic acids (frankincense), chamazulene (chamomile), and eugenol (clove) reduce gum inflammation and swelling, providing relief from the painful symptoms of teething.
• Soothing and Calming: Linalool (lavender) and bisabolol (chamomile) have calming effects that help soothe irritated gums and reduce overall discomfort, supporting a more comfortable teething experience.
• Antimicrobial Protection: Eugenol (clove) and resins (myrrh) provide antimicrobial benefits, protecting the gums from minor infections and promoting overall gum health.

Indications:

• Teething Relief: Provides soothing relief for discomfort and pain associated with teething.
• Gum Health: Supports overall gum health and reduces inflammation.
• Comfort and Calm: Offers calming effects to ease irritability and promote relaxation.
