Back to school
With Essential Oils
It is time to say goodbye to summer vacation and hello to a brand new school year.
With a new grade, new classes, and new learning experiences, now is the perfect time for you and your kids to establish new routines.
Why not make it fun and fragrant with a little added support from some your favorite essential oils?
In this post, discover how you can include essential oils in your family’s back to school routine, whether it’s before, during, or after school.
Before School
After waking up refreshed and ready to go, breakfast should be an essential part of your morning. Using ingredients like IQ Mega ® , Lemon essential oil, and Wild Orange essential oil make a great start to everyday.
Omega Enhancement
From syrup to smoothies, try adding a serving of IQ Mega at breakfast for a fortifying, citrusy flavor your kids will love. Best of all, IQ Mega is also a major source of omega 3’s, so your whole family can start the day off strong.
With their bellies full and knapsacks all prepped to go, have your little ones pack their favorite supportive aromas from the doTERRA Kid’s Collection or diffuse Lemon and Wild Orange prior to the school day. Here is our recommendation to help set them up for a success:
Brave Courage Blend
Before heading out to the school bus , encourage your kids to rub the bright, citrusy scent of Brave Courage Blend on their wrists as a reminder to be brave during a big day at school.
Stronger ® Protective Blend
With everything they may face in a school day, kids need all the support they can get. Have them apply Stronger Protective Blend for an uplifting aroma that gives them an extra boost before they head out the door.
Tamer Tummy Zen Blend
On days when your littles or teens have a packed schedule, test or having nerves causing tummy upset. Apply in a circle around the navel. Great for babies after a diaper change.
During School
Along with their completed homework projects, make sure your kids come to school with supportive doTERRA aromas and tools. Remind your younger ones to use grounding and soothing blends throughout the day and have the big kids keep InTune ® close by for an energizing aroma between classes. Here is a few products we recommend they have on hand:
On Guard ® Mist
For a quick hand cleansing boost during the school day, reach for the convenient and portable On Guard Mist.
Steady™ Grounding Blend
During a difficult test or more challenging subject, have your kiddos roll Steady Grounding Blend on their wrists for a grounding aroma as they gather their thoughts and get back on track
Rescuer Soothing Blend
Let Rescuer Soothing Blend be your child’s go-to when they need an encouraging boost in the middle of a school day. Have them roll this soothing blend on their legs or wrists and inhale for a calming aroma.
After School
The essential oil fun does not stop once the school day is over. Bring a fragrant flare to the homework table with some of our most supportive and revitalizing blends, like Thinker® for the youngsters and doTERRA Motivate ® for the older ones.
Thinker Supportive Blend
Create a supportive and clear environment as your kids hit the books with the slightly sweet, herbal scent of Thinker. Simply roll this energizing aroma on their wrists as a reminder to stay on task and keep the creative juices flowing.
doTERRA Motivate
Whether they diffuse the blend or apply doTERRA Motivate ® Touch during study time, your teens will enjoy a warm, fresh aroma that creates a motivating atmosphere throughout their creative space.
Getting ready for bed on a school night can sometimes be easier said than done—or is it? Using restful essential oil aromas can invite a much-needed relaxing atmosphere into your space as everyone prepares for bed.
Calmer™ Restful Blend
Set the scene for a night of sweet dreams by rubbing Calmer Restful Blend on the bottoms of your child’s feet for a soft, slightly sweet aroma as they drift off to dreamland.
doTERRA Serenity ®
Having the sweet, soft floral aroma of doTERRA Serenity wafting throughout your older kids’ rooms can help set the stage for the restful night sleep they need to have another great day at school.
Along with good study habits, you can help lay the foundation for a successful school year with the supportive aromas of your favorite essential oils.
By incorporating these aromatic tips into your daily schedule, you can make every school day great with these back-to-school essentials.
