Essential Oils and Back to School Help

Becky Pope · September 17, 2024
Essential Oils and Back to School Help

Back to school can be an exciting time for kids, but it can also be stressful.  

This week, I chatted with a Bella our 16-year-old daughter about how her school year was going. As she shared some of the struggles she's been facing, I couldn't help but reflect on my own journey. Betsy as well, her last year in primary school and the new challenges (residential trip without us and sats to name a few) and changes that is on the horizon to face with senior school choices. I also kept thinking about all the ways essential oils could have helped me through those years of uncertainty. Whether it was processing a friendship struggles, boosting my confidence and courage, falling asleep faster on anxious nights before exams, or staying focused while studying, aromatherapy could have been a great help in my teenage years - I wish I found it sooner! There is so much to navigate now with social media vs reality, I feel so lucky this was not also another element to process!
For us parents, it's truly essential to find supportive tools that can help them thrive and also make us feel we can support them the best we can. One of the best things I have found on this journey of parenting is to help the girls prepare for a successful school year with the right management tools. One of those tools I have found is essential oils. Aromatherapy is a natural and gentle way to support emotional and mental well-being.
 
Essential oils like lavender are renowned for their calming properties, which can help alleviate stress and anxiety. Peppermint and citrus oils, like lemon and orange, are invigorating and can enhance concentration and mood, helping them stay motivated and energised. 

Essential oils can help promote focus, concentration, and relaxation, which are all key ingredients for a success. Betsy our daughter loves to take her BCALM diffuser keyring, with her to have it with her wherever she goes to bring a moment of calm to breath and take in the day or week ahead. Her favourite uplifting boost is Sweet Orange essential oil. 

​​​​​​​​If you need a little calming boost for you and a loved one we are here to support you. Choose from 8 organic essential oils to go with your keyring and all popped together in a hessian drawstring bag. 

Or another way to help relieve any anxious nerves is our geo cut roller ball to the anxiety rescue, with sweet almond carrier oil, lavender, lemon and peppermint! ​​​​​​​​

Lavender essential oil It has calming properties and can be used safely on children. Lavender relaxes during an anxious thoughts. - Peppermint essential oil improves circulation, relax muscles, and soothe the gut, all of which can be helpful with any nerves. Peppermint also helps to cool the body when your feel worried.  - Lemon essential oil It's earthy, citrus aroma has calming and soothing effects. It is uplifting aroma. Read more here about this super power set on your travels. Select peppermint, lemon and lavender with any of your choice sets.


How to make up the refillable Geo Cut glass roller ball before a school day: ​​​​​​​​
Using the funnel, place in the geo cut glass bottle top and pour the whole bottle of carrier oil in. Add your essential oil, lavender, lemon and peppermint (a helpful combination). We recommend 15-30 drops of essential oils to carrier oil (5-10%) Enjoy the magic of making your own blend!​​​​​​​​
Push on the roller ball lid securely. Dab on pressure points (wrist, neck, temples) throughout the morning before school and when home for a snack.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

A good night sleep also helps calm nerves for the next day, I pop on the BCALM aroma diffuser for Betsy for an hour to feel ready for her next day (shuts off automatically). With the ambient warm light of our diffuser and Signature rest calm scent; Calming scent for peace and tranquillity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Aroma diffuser blend directions, based on adding to 100ml of cool water in your diffuser: 3 drops Lavender - to relax, 2 drops Frankincense - to focus and 2 drops Geranium - for balance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alternatively use 5 to 8 drops of each essential oil separately depending on your mood. Use Lavender to relax, Frankincense for focus and become balanced with Geranium.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Download your FREE Essential Oil guide with blending notes pages for you to have a play and come up with the magic of your own blend together and what oils are kid safe. More direction in our faq's here too.

Wishing you a wonderful first few weeks back to you and a new routine, full of learning and inspiration for all.

Sending Healthy Wishes on your new routine x ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
