Getting back to wake up early, keeping a regular schedule, and finishing lots of homework is definitely a big challenge. Get ready with these 4 essential oil singles and help kids switch from ā€œholiday modeā€ back to ā€œschool modeā€ with the power of aroma!

 

Lavender | Regulate Sleep Routine

One of the biggest back-to-school challenges is adjusting sleep schedules and readapting to going to bed early and waking up early. Lavender has a fresh, soothing herbal aroma that helps relax the mind and body and create a calm bedtime atmosphere.

Use it after a bath or 30 minutes before bed to help your kids settle down more easily, enjoy better-quality sleep, and wake up the next day with renewed energy!
Basil | Clear Your Mind

Keeping a clear mind is important for learning! After a long holiday, some kids may not be fully ā€œawakeā€ yet when they return to the classroom. Basil has a strong, spicy herbal scent that helps refresh the mind and boost energy.

Use it in the morning before school or while doing homework to help your child shake off the sleepy feeling at the beginning of the term and improve focus while studying!
Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood | Create a Calm Study Atmosphere

At the beginning of a new school year, many children may still think about holidays and easily get distracted. Royal Hawaii Sandalwood has a warm, creamy woody aroma that helps ease kidsā€™ restlessness.

Use it during reading or studying time to help children settle down and guide them gradually get back to a calm and focused state of learning.
Frankincense | Soothe Anxious Feelings

Adapting to a new school year, new classmates, and new curriculum, itā€™s normal for kids to feel worried and resistant. Frankincense has a grounding woody aroma with earthy notes and has been widely used during prayer, meditation, and mindfulness practices.

Use it before bedtime or whenever you need to process your emotions to help children slow their breathing, calm their thoughts, and feel more settled as they adapt to change.
