Back to School
School is in session!
Love it or hate it, the back to school season brings big transitions that can present challenges to our health + wellness. Luckily, we’ve got access to some incredible natural health tools to help our bodies adjust + adapt! Keep reading to learn how essential oils can strengthen + support immunity, emotions, sleep, focus and more.
Health Concerns
IMMUNE SUPPORT
The biggest challenge heading back to the classroom is the onslaught of germs! There are so many areas of wellness that impact our immune function but the good news is there are simple ways to support it as well. At our house we like to apply + diffuse oils daily to keep our immune system supported + prepared.
MOOD MANAGEMENT
Whether it’s fear, anger, nerves, stress, motivation etc, the atmosphere we create in our homes + in the classroom is so important for overall health and daily success. We diffuse in the mornings to set the tone for the day and also apply oils as needed depending on who is feeling what at any given time! (this can sometimes change by the hour….am I right mamas?!)
FOCUS
Being contained to a desk isn’t natural for any of us, let alone a child with boat loads of energy. Oils can help to cancel out some noise and quiet the mind when applied or diffused (and in some cases when ingested if you’re cool with that).

SLEEP
The absolute best way to set a school day up for success is with a good night’s sleep. If we aren’t getting adequate rest we can’t expect our bodies to perform to the best our abilities. Whether it’s for help calming, falling asleep, staying asleep, or promoting the most restful sleep, oils are a great option. We love applying the Serenity stick before bed as well as running the diffuser.

Best ways to get started!
Maybe you’ve bought an oil here and there. Maybe you’ve been offered some from a friend. Maybe you haven’t ever tried any at all! Either way, if you’re feeling like the time is now to integrate the best natural health tools into your home, I’ve got a few suggestions for you.
I always recommend a kit for getting started. They come with a lot more value, and a variety of solutions for whatever health concern you’re looking to remedy. And in my opinion, when it comes to collections, nothing beats the top 10 oils!
