Back to School With Essential Oils!

So much for the carefree days of summer!  Back to the tired and grumpy mornings, lots of homework and exposure to sick kids and nasty viruses.  Guess what?  Essential oils can make all the difference this year! 

Here we go!!

What parent wouldn't like to know how to promote better focus, retention, happy mornings and relaxed evenings?  And, just as important, how to keep your kids well and resistant to all the viruses and bacteria that congregate in schools.  This goes for anybody going back to school...college students included! 

** The MORNING Routine **

I love this strategy.  When you're trying to roust your kids out of bed to get ready for school.  Bring along a pretty little spray bottle of:

Wild Orange and Lavender

with water and or alcohol free witch hazel.  Spray a fine mist into the bedroom to awaken their sleepy heads!

  

IMPORTANT!  If you're fighting sickness or there's a bug making the rounds at school, make sure to put a drop of Shield Protection Blend on your kids feet before they leave the house!  Why the feet?  The bottoms of your feet have the largest pores, essentials oils can penetrate the bloodstream quickly via the feet.

Shield: is a blend of immunity boosting oils:  Lemon, Clove, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon Bark and Rosemary.  This protective blend wards off colds and flu, it's a must in every household in my book.  

My kids use it for their littles ones now and doctor visits are almost non-existent during the school year. Shield can be applied topically, ingested or diffused.
  



When exposed to someone with a cold or the flu, diffuse Shield at home or work and always apply to your feet before you leave the house.  I can't recommend this product enough, this blend has saved our family missed school and work, not to mention the savings in doctor visits and prescriptions!

For the month of August ~ you can purchase a 15ml bottle of Shield for only $15.99 (shipping included) if you join Spark Naturals Oil of the Month Club!

Roll Jeddy's Blend on the bottom of feet and back of the neck at the brain stem every morning and as needed during the day.

** AFTERNOON Routine**

Things should be pretty calm during this time of day, the kids are in school.  However, here's a few ideas...

For stay at home Mom's, shortly before school gets out start diffusing various oils depending on the situation you're dealing with.  

If you're fighting sickness, diffuse Shield Protection Blend.  

If your routine is to get homework done first thing, diffuse Peppermint and Wild Orange to keep their minds stimulated and alert.  If they've had a bad day, Zen, a grounding blend works wonders to calm and relax. 

You can buy diffusers online.  I like the Zaq Noor! Diffusers emit a fine mist of EOs with water, fine enough to be inhaled.  I recommend keeping at least one in your home! 

** NIGHT-TIME Routine **

One word:  Lavender!  Diffuse it, spray it on linens but by all means, put a drop or two on your kids feet before bedtime.  It's safe for babies, simply dilute with a little carrier oil before applying topically.  Adults reap the benefits as well!  Once again, if warding off illness, you can layer Shield Protective Blend with a layer of Lavender on big and little feet at bedtime for a restful night.

I will go so far as to "promise" you that if you bring PURE essential oils into your home you will wonder how you ever got by without them and you'll soon find out what an incredible value those little blue bottles really are...

EOs are HIGHLY concentrated and a drop or two is all that's needed for most any use.  Keep in mind that essential oils are all of these: medicinal, cleaning agents, aromatherapy tools, disinfectants, purifiers, pain relievers, mood enhancers all wrapped up in a small blue glass bottle.  

This is a lot of information and, it's natural to feel overwhelmed in the beginning but, there's no time like the present to jump in and begin your family's new journey of wellness!  

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy, it's hard to relearn and reprogram our thinking...but your family is worth your efforts to learn more about essential oils and start down the natural path to wellness and becoming the Healer in your home :)
