As September fades away and a new school year gets underway, it’s an ideal time for families to establish fresh routines. This transition doesn't have to feel overwhelming—let's make it enjoyable and fragrant with the help of essential oils. By integrating these natural solutions into your daily life, you can make the school year brighter for both you and your kids.
In this piece, you will learn how to incorporate essential oils into your family's back-to-school routine, whether it’s in the morning, during school hours, or after classes.
Before School
Mornings can be hectic, but a delightful breakfast paves the way for a successful day. Simple ingredients such as IQ Mega®, Lemon essential oil, and Wild Orange essential oil can transform your morning meals into delicious power-ups.
Omega Enhancement: Add IQ Mega to breakfast for a citrusy burst of flavor and omega-3s. For instance, blend it into smoothies or drizzle it onto pancakes. Approximately 85% of children benefit from omega-3s for cognitive function, making this a smart addition to your morning meals.
Lemon Blueberry Muffins: Try incorporating Lemon essential oil in your blueberry muffin recipes. This oil not only adds zest but also boosts mood. One study showed that citrus scents can improve mood by up to 30%.
Wild Orange French Toast: Give your breakfast a twist with Wild Orange in your French toast batter. This adds a sweet citrus flavor that can make your kids' favorite breakfast even more appealing.
Once everyone is fueled up, encourage your children to take along their favorite aromas from the doTERRA Kid’s Collection. For older kids, using Adaptiv Capsules can help maintain focus during their school day.
During School
As the school day begins, keeping children focused can be a challenge. Essential oils offer a great way to support concentration and calmness.
Brave® Courage Blend: Have your kids apply this bright, uplifting blend to their wrists before they leave for school. This oil can boost confidence and positivity. Research suggests that scents like citrus can help enhance mood by 20% in stressful situations.
Peppermint Essential Oil: This oil is well-known for enhancing focus. Consider placing a drop on a cotton ball for your child to keep in their backpack. Studies have shown that peppermint can improve memory recall by as much as 15%.
Lemon Essential Oil: Uplift their spirits with the refreshing scent of Lemon essential oil. A few drops in a personal diffuser can help create a cheerful atmosphere, ideal for learning and maintaining positivity throughout the day.
After School
After a busy school day, it’s just as important for kids to unwind. Essential oils can help make this transition smooth and calming.
Lavender Essential Oil: Famous for its calming effects, Lavender essential oil is perfect for winding down. Add a few drops to warm bathwater or diffuse it in their room to create a peaceful retreat.
Adaptiv Calming Blend: This blend is designed to reduce stress and encourage relaxation. Have your kids apply it to their pulse points post-school to help them transition from learning to leisure mode.
Cedarwood Essential Oil: For a good night's sleep, Cedarwood essential oil can be a game changer. Diffusing this oil in the evening not only creates a serene atmosphere but can also improve sleep quality by up to 25%.
Making the Most of the School Year
As the new school year unfolds, incorporating essential oils into your family’s routine can create supportive rituals that enhance daily life. From energizing breakfasts to relaxing evenings, these natural tools can foster focus and tranquility, helping to create a positive learning environment.
