Stock Up On These Essential Oils For Back-To-School...

Lavender

Lavender is famous for it's ability to encourage relaxation, sleep and feelings of peacefulness. Try adding lavender essential oil to bath water and linen sprays to help ease your child back into a regular sleep pattern.

Tea Tree

Back-to-school means germs galore! Use tea tree essential oil's natural anti-bacterial properties to clean off lunch boxes and school supplies on a weekly basis. Tea Tree essential oil is also popularly used to deter lice! Just a dab a bit of the oil behind the ears and at the back of the next before sending them off to school. Tip: Add a few drops to your regular shampoo!

Frankincense

Frankincense offers grounding and balancing properties during the busy back-to-school season. Dilute frankincense essential oil with a carrier oil of your choosing (we like fractionated coconut oil due to it's odorless and colorless properties) before applying it to wrists, soles of the feet and chest. Applying frankincense to these points can help your child to feel uplifted, calmed and empowered - great for promoting focus and calming nerves right before a test!

Sweet Orange

Sweet orange is well known for helping to boost energy and mood. Diffuse sweet orange essential oil in the bedroom and kitchen on those early school mornings to help everyone start the day on a positive and optimistic note. Study sessions can seem extra tedious at the beginning of the school year, but sweet orange oil paired with rosemary or cedarwood can help to cheerfully boost concentration.

Peppermint

Peppermint is another staple in your back-to-school kit because of its' versatility. It offers a very fresh aroma that can prompt clarity, feelings of action, alertness and positivity. Use peppermint essential oil all day every day alone or combined with other oils to maintain a joyous and productive mindset.
