Did you know that I am a Doterra Certified Essential Oil Specialist? That’s right! I just love essential oils and use them every day in our home.

Because of my extensive experience, I wanted to dedicate my next Make & Take Workshop to essential oils! I’ve been discovering essential oils for over 10 years and have compiled a huge list of my favorite back to school combos that will help keep you and your kids calm, focused, and productive throughout the school year.

These are easy blends you can make at home, so give them a try next time you need a little extra help with the kids. I’ve created a downloadable sheet for you to save with each of these recipes and included it at the end of this post!

A RESTFUL SLEEP GOES A LONG WAY

Let’s face it, our children are not growing up the same way we did! We weren’t surrounded by technology and bombarded with stimuli the same way that they are. This means that when it comes time to go to bed, your children can seem cranky, moody and overstimulated. If they don’t get a restful sleep, in the morning if they can wake up tired and unsettled. We don’t want that!

What we want are happy, fully rested and energetic children that are ready to tackle the new day. To aid with a restful sleep and peaceful morning, I have two favorite blends to share

Well Rested – which consists of Cedarwood, Lavender and a drop of Vetiver and Rise & Shine – a simple mix of Peppermint and Wild Orange. With these blends I guarantee your child will never be late for class and wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

HERE’S THE RECIPES

Well Rested

• 3 drops of Cedarwood
• 3 drops of Lavender
• 1 drop of Vetiver

Rise & Shine

• 2 drops Peppermint
• 3 drops of Wild Orange

AFTER SCHOOL TIME CAN BE ENJOYABLE & FUN

After a full day of learning, after school is also a time for homework, and not everyone likes homework. To make this time a little easier on everyone involved, incorporate these blends into your routine

Homework Helper – is a favorite of mine and my son Nick. It is made up of 2 drops of Rosemary, 2 drops of Peppermint and 3 drops of Orange. It helps to promote focus, concentration and memory recall.

After homework is done and most of the family is settled into an evening of fun, I’m all about a relaxing blend. My favorite for the occasion? Family Time – which consists of Lavender, Bergamot, Grapefruit and Wild Orange.

HERE’S THE RECIPES

Homework Helper

• 2 drops of Rosemary
• 2 drops of Peppermint
• 3 drops of Orange

Family Time Blend

• 3 drops of Lavender
• 2 drops of Bergamot
• 2 drops of Grapefruit
• 2 drops of Wild Orange

FOR WHEN YOU NEED A LITTLE EXTRA HELP HEALING

Let’s face it, when our children are sick is not a fun time for anyone! But with these essential oil blends you will be better equipped to help get your little fighter back on the road to good health.

If your child has a cough, I recommend Calm the Cough – a mix of drops of Eucalyptus, Lime and Frankincense. Diffuse this in their room (or a diffuser near their bed) to help relieve congestion.

Once the cough is gone, I recommend the periodical use of Immune Bomb – a blend of On Guard, Frankincense, Lemon and a splash of Tea Tree essential oils. This blend is perfect to help get the body back on track and prevent any future illnesses.

HERE’S THE RECIPES

Calm the Cough

• 3 drops of Eucalyptus
• 2 drops of Lime
• 2 drop of Frankincense

Immune Bomb

• 2 drops of On Guard
• 2 drops of Frankincense
• 1 drop of Lemon
• 1 drop of Tea Tree

Overall, my Make & Take Essential Oil Blends for School Success Workshop was a huge success! The idea of essential oils as a tool to help our kids succeed in school really resonated with those that attended and they loved being able to make their own blend to take home!

Try it yourself with our full list of oils you can download here! When you do, share a pictures with your blends on Instagram using #blessthemesstips. We’d love to see them!
