Overview
Our research team is currently enrolling kids aged 2-12 years old for a first aid clinical trial. This study is evaluating the effects of different blends of essential oil based wound care on cuts and scrapes.
If you join, we will provide a dropper bottle of a plant-based product to store in your summer first aid kit. If your child experiences a cut or scrape during the study period, you'll apply the product as directed, take images of the injury, and provide daily information until the wound has healed.
