Back to School with Essential Oils!

Children are wonderfully responsive to the use of essential oils, love to learn about them and what they do. They are curious beings and love to help mom make their own special blends!

Use of the oils at bedtime with a diffuser or smelling oils from the bottle while at school can bring both peace and calming, also mental focus and concentration support. Oils supply a vast variety of emotional support!! The uses and benefits are endless! 

Happy Kid= Happy Mom and Teacher!

Safety First:)

Caution must be taken when researching solutions online. Most information available about aromatherapy reflects the assumption that the product used will contain synthetic ingredients. In the case of these altered products, warnings should be taken seriously. But when pure, unaltered, genuine essential oils are selected and used, a parent can treat their family with confidence!! I have access to these genuine essential oils and want to share them with you!!

The use of oils with children is most effective when oils are combined with a carrier oil and are massaged on back, abdomen or feet (NEAT-undiluted-application on feet with 1-2 drops depending on body weight is acceptable in older children; for infants and toddlers, dilute oils with a carrier oil prior to application in most cases.)

Avoid placing essential oils in the eyes, ears and nose. You can place essential oil on a cotton ball and place in the ear.

These oils are considered "hot or warm" oils and are suggested to be used with a carrier oil when applying: birch, cassia, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, ginger, lemongrass, oregano, peppermint, protective blend, thyme, and wintergreen

Recipes:

Good Morning Routine:

Wild Orange or Grounding Blend essential oil. Diffuse or put 1-2 drops on back of neck, wrists, or feet.

Focus Blend:

In a 5ml glass roller  bottle, mix 20 drops Wild Orange and Peppermint and fill the rest with fractionated coconut oil.

In a 4oz glass or high quality plastic spray bottle, mix 1 Tablespoon Aloe Vera gel and 20 drops of protection blend and fill the rest with water.

Boost Immunity/Healthy Brain & Body:

Protection blend!!!!!!!! Ward off those germs that are easily spread in the classroom!

Quality, whole-food vitamin and mineral supplement. 100% pure fish oil supplement with healthy balance of Omega 3 fatty acids. Contact me for details on these supplements and their nutritional facts that I suggest. No, sorry to break the news to you, but over- the- counter chewables aren't going to cut it! Many containing fillers, synthetics and dyes that are doing more harm than good!

Occasional Ear Discomfort:
